Electric Umbrella

Richard Rallison RIP.

One of the first companies to commercialise holography in the form of pendants, belt buckles etc. The fine craftsmanship was often let down by tacky imagery, but the products were much imitated. Ten years after I used to sell these in my shop I was amused to find bootleg copies in a streetmarket in Turkey

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.

 

In March 2025 we moved our site to a cloud-based, green web, hosting service. It is committed to the use of renewable energy and offsets more carbon emissions than it produces.

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.
