Throughout September, I’ll be blogging each day about a recently-discovered cache of 30 stereos that can be attributed to the photographer James Edward Ellam (1857-1920).
In a previous post (Press Photo Pioneer – 28th April 2023), I distilled what I knew at that point about his life and career.
But in recent months, further research and a fortunate discovery via Ebay have yielded 30 of his stereos dating from the 1890s.
If you are new to stereoscopy and wish to enjoy his work in 3D, the Lite OWL, invented by Sir Brian May, can be purchased for a few pounds and will enhance your viewing experience.
