The Stranger

Diableries, the newest book by Brian May, and fellow specialists in stereo photography, Denis Pellerin and Paula Fleming, is being presented by Brian May himself in the annual National Stereoscopic Association Convention held in Traverse City, Michigan, USA, this weekend.

These are only a few advanced copies, but the full production will go on public sale by the end of October 2013.

The book contains information and the largest collection of 19th Century French Stereo photography from the Diableries series, containing stereographic images of Devilish characters with some very interesting special effects for that time.

What are Diableries?
This section provides a window into some fascinating stereo cards, which were made exclusively in France, beginning in the 1860s, and continuing on until around 1900. The cards, called 'Diableries' (which translates roughly as 'Devilments') depict a whole imaginary underworld, populated by devils, satyrs and skeletons which are very much alive and, for the most part, having fun. The cards are works of art in themselves, and are known as FRENCH TISSUES, constructed in a special way to enable them to be viewed (in a stereoscope) illuminated from the front, for a normal 'day' appearance in monochrome, or illuminated from the back, transforming the view into a 'night' scene, in which hidden colours magically appear, and the eyes of the skeletons leap out in red, in a most macabre way ! Collectors prize these cards, which are quite delicate, and must be handled with care, in order not to damage them.
