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.

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