L'illustration

 

As we indicated at the head of our

penultimate issue, many of our

subscribers and our readers have us for a few

months, expressed the desire to review in our pages a

series of anaglyphs.

Made in France, using photography,

for the first time, by Ducos du Hauron, in 1891,

the anaglyphs then only benefited from a curio-

transient site. The article by our collaborators L. Gimpel

and E. Touchet brilliantly pulled them out of oblivion in

which they had fallen. The reception given to this article

and the two-color engravings that accompanied it,

on January 26, its reproduction in a certain

number of journals, "popularized" anaglyphs

to the point that some illustrated newspapers from England

in particular, now give it in almost all

their numbers,

But, it must be said, the anaglyph does not suffer

mediocrity. It must be of such perfect execution

as possible. This is because most of the anaglyphs

published so far were faulty they hadn't

won public favor. Illustration, eager,

as usual, to offer only visions of

choice to its readers, made them take the

pictures that we reproduce on the following pages.

Note that these are not stereoscopies

ordinary. The first of these views, among others, is

hyperstereoscopy: we will find in our

january issue the explanation of this term and everything

which relates to the relief vision.

Remember that these engravings must be seen

gods with the two-colored eyeglass, - whose elements

(red-orange gelatin and green-blue gelatin) have been

previously supplied, - by placing the red oval

in front of the left eye, the green oval in front of the right eye.

Short-sighted or presbyopic patients must also

serve their usual eyeglasses.

We assume that our subscribers and readers have

still in their possession the eyeglass they had

made up. The renewed publication of these ana-

glyphs makes two-tone eyeglasses an accessory of

office almost as essential as a paper cutter

or a magnifying glass.

We will be excused for not giving again here

even the elements of this device. But eyeglasses

all prepared will be shipped, in an envelope, against

receipt of the sum of one franc in postage stamps.
