		Authentic Civil War Stereographs From 1861-1865 Restored and Converted to Red/Cyan Anaglyphs For Spectacular 3-D Viewing This Beautiful, Large (8.5 x 11) Book Includes 2 Pairs of 3-D Glasses info@civilwar3d.com

Between 1860 and 1910, stereoscopes were very popular - almost every parlor contained one. Many of the photographers who chronicled the American Civil War employed stereographic cameras to record images of that momentous struggle. The stereo cards that they produced contain two images - one for each eye. When viewed with the stereoscope, each eye sees only the appropriate image, producing the illusion of three dimensions. The photographs in this book were taken during the Civil War between 1861 and 1865. They have been digitally restored and converted to red/cyan anaglyphs so that each eye sees only one of the superimposed images, and the 3-D illusion is produced, just the way the photographers intended.

“Richard Loren Copley has added an exciting new dimension to the study of the Civil War by bringing images almost to life in his book, The Civil War A History in 3-D. It is a wonderful addition for the libraries of private collections, school collections, and those of various preservation groups. Copley provides an intriguing and interacting photographic technique that certainly will engage the imagination of young people as they study the Civil War.”

“An ideal vehicle by which to gain an “up-close-and-personal” understanding of the Civil War from the perspectives of the participants. The pictures are wonderful, and go very well with the written material . . . the “3-D” is a very unique aspect of the book. You get the feeling that you are right there beside the people in the photographs. It should be required reading for every student studying the Civil War.”
