Jim Naughton – Stereoscopic Images of Natural History | Prestel, Hoop Editions | ISBN: 978-3-7913-8247-0
Published by Prestel as part of the Hoop Editions, this intriguing volume includes the Stero Viewer, designed to encourage the brain to perceive images in 3D. Bound in thick pale grey boards with bronze title lettering and a solid bronze spine with white lettering, the book is secured with a rust-coloured elastic to hold the viewer. No dust jacket is included.
In very good condition, with only slight rubbing to corners, top, and base. The stereoscopic images provide both practical scientific documentation and provoke an esoteric response, exploring the construction of animal skeletal forms. This practice of stereoscopic imaging originated in London in 1854.
Condition: Very good; slight corner and edge wear; complete with viewer.
