Using the LITE OWL 3-D viewer supplied in this package the scenes can be enjoyed again just as their creators intended, in magnificent 3-D.In the first edition of this book, published in 2012, there were two stereo cards missing from the Diableries series! In 2018, after a worldwide search, finally the last card was found, and is published for the very first time in this new edition of Diableres, along with the story of its discovery.The final dimension in this unique study is the original research, which unearths the hidden meanings in these tableaux. Some of them are so rare that at the time of writing there is no known full collection of the originals of these masterpieces. This 3-D phenomenon, which fascinated a nation for 40 years, is yours to share.This book, the fruit of half a lifetime's study by three impas- sioned authors, brings every single one of the published Diableries into the 21st Century for the very first time.
In France, around 1860, from the loins of a traditional national fascination with all things diabolical, was born a new sensation - a series of visionary dioramas depicting life in a strange parallel universe called ENFER - Hell - communicated to an eager audience by means of stereoscopic cards, to be viewed in the stereoscopes which had already become popular in the 1850s.
