Stereos - an Introduction

Over the years Jonathan Ross has taken hundreds of stereo photographs.  

Examples of these have been placed in our 'mini' stereo site where you can view:

101 pieces from the holography collection, showing many of the artists, scientists, and commercial/display makers connected with the development of holography in all its forms.

Stereo views of artists included in the 3x8+1 exhibition catalogue

In June 2024 a new site was launched to highlight stereoviews in the collection.

www.jrstereocollection.com

Jonathan is digitising and cataloguing more examples in his stereoviews collection to make an dedicated resource on this new website.

A wide range of photographers are presented with extensive images and notes about their work.
The site also includes links to other Stereo and Stereoview resources.
It is an ongoing project which will be updated over the following months/years.

 


 

 

Article by Jonathan Ross about Michael Burrs for The Stereosite.

"Michael Burr was one of the most prolific photographers of staged genre stereoviews in the Victorian era. Following in the footsteps of masters like James Elliott and Alfred Silvester and frequently adapting the themes of other popular photographers, this Birmingham based entrepreneur created a catalogue estimated at over 1,000 images during a period from 1862  to the mid 1870s and evidently sold his work in large quantities as there are so many of his stereoviews still surviving."

An Invitation

The Jonathan Ross Hologram Collection website was launched in 2005 and redesigned in 2013.

The new format has scope for lots more material so I would like to invite all the holographers whose work is featured here to submit background information, stories and images to supplement those I have provided. That way we can work together to make this the best resource on holographic imaging to be found on the web.

About the Collection

The Jonathan Ross Hologram Collection, based in London, UK, is one of the largest resources in the world for creative, display and commercial holography.

A number of touring exhibitions, containing work from the collection, have been presented in outstanding museums and galleries both within the UK and abroad. Information about new acquisitions and exhibitions is added here on a regular basis.
