Krátky popis
George Washington Wilson was one of Scotland's leading photographer
in Victorian times, particularly in the art of stereo photography.
He began his career as a portrait miniature painter, but in the
late 1840s was an early adopter of photography, and started
offering his clients photographic portraits. Prince Albert
commissioned him to photograph the the construction of Balmoral
Castle, and he also captured many historic portraits of Queen
Victoria and family at Balmoral. Queen Victoria honoured him by
appointing him Photographer to the Queen. Based in Aberdeen, he
made a thriving business printing and selling stereo cards of
tourist attractions from Fingal's Cave on the remote Island of
Staffa to London's busiest thoroughfare, Oxford Street. In this
book Roger Taylor, the world authority on Wilson, captures the
essence of the man and presents a glorious gallery of his work in
colour, with many 3-D stereo cards which can be viewed with the
complimentary viewer included in the back of the book. Dr Brian May
designed and manufactured the OWL stereo viewer, provided many of
the stereo photographs from his extensive archive, and wrote the
Foreword to the book.
