Throughout his life photographer Jim Naughten has been fascinated with the natural
world. As a child, he collected fossils he found near his home in Dover. Now a renowned
photographer, Naughten has started to experiment with stereography and has turned
to his boyhood interest, gaining access to the archives of some of the world's most
prestigious natural history museums. This gorgeously produced book contains fifty
images of marine life, reptiles, mammals, birds and primates photographed expressly
for viewing through a stereoscope, which is included with the book. Stereoscopy was
invented in 1839 to study and explain binocular vision. Having two eyes allows humans
to determine distance and depth and stereoscopy shows a left- and right-eye view from
a slightly different angle, as we see things in day-to-day life. Looking through the
stereo viewer, readers will see the specimens as three-dimensional objects. As the
images jump off the page, their incredible details become apparent-delicate bat wings,
the spiraling skeleton of a python, the almost mythic form of a leafy sea dragon.A
foreword by Martin Barnes of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London offers an assessment
of the work while essays on the specimens themselves and the history of stereoscopy
provide rich background to this photographic technology, and to Naughten's achievement
in bringing to life a world that seamlessly melds the past and present
