Edwardian 3D spanking
31Aug13
Nothing new under the sun as they say, these are 3D images of yesteryear. They were chanced upon on a vanilla blog Pocketful of Ginch. The first two was how they would have been used the rest are details of the image as singles.
My grandmother had a stereoscope for viewing holiday snaps, but she never had anything like these images. The scope itself was red and resembled a pair of binoculars. When one is small it was like magic.
The modern versions of the scope usually have a reel of companion images which turn when one hits the lever. The model used for the images above were viewed one at a time.

I guess this is proof that any new visual technology’s first commercial use will be erotica. By modern equivalent, I guess you are referring to the Viewmaster, which has the images mounted in a cardboard disc. I happen to live up the road from the old Viewmaster factory in Oregon. That said, I don’t know of any commercially produced erotica for Viewmasters but some may have been made as art.
I think it was a viewmaster 🙂
