EDITORS COMMENTS
The Stereoscope, Pseudoscope, and Solid Daguerreotypes: A Glimpse into the 19th Century Optical Marvels". This engraving from the 19th century takes us on a journey through the fascinating world of optical illusions and scientific marvels. The print showcases an array of intricate objects that were at the forefront of technological advancements during that era. Intriguingly, we are introduced to various crystals such as amethyst, fluor spar, and emerald prism. These crystals take different shapes like regular dodecahedron or hexagonal pyramid, revealing their mesmerizing properties when viewed through a refracting stereoscope or reflecting stereoscope. The image also features solid daguerreotypes - early photographs made on metal plates coated with silver - which provide a glimpse into the past. Busts and railway tunnels add depth to this visual exploration. We are further captivated by iron trellis work intersecting planes and square prisms that create optical illusions when observed through pseudoscopes or stereoscopes. The presence of gold, copper, nickel alongside chemical compounds like arsenious acid and common salt hints at the scientific experimentation prevalent in those times. This engraving not only offers a window into historical technology but also serves as a reminder of human curiosity and ingenuity throughout centuries. It is truly remarkable how these seemingly trifling differences in shape can produce such awe-inspiring effects when combined with light and perception.
