Classic QUOTES ABOUT 3D

U.S. Camera & Travel- January 1966

(from "3-D Updated" by Paul Farber)

"And so if your inclination is to champion lost causes, the case of stereo photography is ready-made for you. This lost pup, with us since the very beginnings of photography, continues to occupy a third-rate position in the photographic scheme of things. However, its intrinsic beauty, coupled with the fact that no other process can approach it for sheer realism, makes stereo a perennial favorite that will never quite fully leave the photographic scene; but it will never attain the pinnacle of acceptance that other photo processes have, and that's the pity of it all- it really is one beautiful way to present a photograph."

Underwood Travel System- The Business Side- 1908

Toning with pure gold

"The work of toning Underwood stereographs is done with the use of pure gold in the toning baths. The result of the great expense of toning with gold is that the stereographs thus treated present beautifully true and artistic warm gradations of tone, giving sharp contrasts where such contrasts exist in nature, and following nature also where she leads, by exquisite, almost imperceptible degrees of difference between light and shade."
