Stereoscopic images of the First World War, found in the attic

Categories: History

A Toronto photography studio stumbled upon a stereoscopic camera and photo slides depicting World War I scenes. These photos were taken in the trenches, on the streets and battlefields. The amazing footage, taken with a hand-held stereoscopic camera called "Verascope", was taken by soldiers of the French army. The camera was preserved intact, and the original leather case and glass slides were also found with it. Each slide is a piece of history in photographs. Visitors to A Nerd's World photography studio in Toronto can use a special 3D viewer to view these slides. You don't need it - we invite you to see these amazing slides here and now.
