Indeed, this is a set of stereo glass slides (Vrielynck collection) in a salon stereoscope, all images depicting WWI events.
All these slides are with their titles in Adlid, M HKA / Cinema Zuid, so very easy to browse trhough.
However, the most spectacular collection of stereo slides related to WWI I saw more than 15 years ago in 'Hill 62', Ieper Belgium.
http://www.world-of-3d.com/the-world-in-3d-europe/hill-62-in-3d/index.html.
This is popular café with a collection of coin operated stereo viewers on the tables, all filled with WWI views.
Many of these images are truly horrible, such as a death horse hanging in a tree.
In fact there are two Hill cafes with a WWI stereo glass slide collection. (one collection divided between two brothers – this is the situation of 15 years ago)
- The one mentioned with the stereo viewers in the café.
- The other, also a café, but with the stereo viewers in a separate museum room next to the café.
Since most of the WWI Stereo views are made by amateurs (in the positive sense of the word!) suchlike views are not rare.
Among the many collections one should collect the historical most important images for a project.
I already pointed an Antwerp photo museum employee to these Hill collections in Ieper.
All best,
Thomas

Onderwerp: Re: world war I ? Re: The Magic Lantern Gazette
hi Stef,
fyi, there is an interesting high-end [tall, fancy wood] stereo peepshow filled with about 100 glass plate slide pairs related to WWI/Belgium in the vault at the Vrielynck collection.... asking at the Photo Musuem, I was told that machines these were sold to rich amateurs of the period, who shot the glass plates themselves and then presented them to their friends in their salon... so most likely the plates are unique [I saw another set at the museum offices which were from a road trip to Italy in 3d, circa 1910]. This set has mainly parades of soldiers walking through monument arches.
hey, a MLS convention in Brookline this summer, my good luck.
best,
David Blair

thanks for showing me the path to more magic lantern wonder...
as far as i can see i cannot search the index by keyword - is that correct? i have a simple question: since magic lantern lectures went on well into the 20th century: would there be any on world war I ?
i am working on a website surveying all popular media dedicated to world war I (in Belgium)
thanks again

Some members of this group may not be familiar with The Magic Lantern Gazette, published by the Magic Lantern Society of the United States and Canada. The Gazette publishes original research on magic lanterns and related topics, and article submissions are welcome. Articles are not limited to the history of the magic lantern in North America. Because the journal is produced relatively inexpensively, long articles with detailed documentation are welcome. The Spring 2013 issue, which is nearly finished, will be 36 pages long and devoted almost entirely to a detailed article by Terry Borton on the Chautauqua lantern-slide lecturers of the late 19th and early 20th century. Terry's research is based on archives of brochures held at the Library of Congress, many of which are illustrated in the article. He has identified 238 "eminent" magic lantern lecturers and provides a detailed summary of their lectures and background. His work shows that magic lantern lectures were not just a 19th century phenomenon, but persisted well into the 20th century. The inside and outside of the Gazette covers are in full color, with interior pages in black and white. In addition to original research articles, the Gazette publishes book reviews and a section called the Research Page, which summarizes recent academic research related to magic lanterns in a wide range of fields.
Back issues of the Gazette and its predecessors under other titles from 1979 to 2012 are available in PDF format online through the San Diego State University Library. Recent issues of the online versions are in full color, with illustrations originally in color, but printed in black and white, reconverted to color. These issues can be accessed online at
http://library.sdsu.edu/scua/online-materials/magic-lantern-pubs
The online issues also can be accessed through the Zotero Magic Lantern Research Group (https://www.zotero.org/groups/magic_lantern_research_group). This shared bibliography is open to the public and includes (1) direct links to hundreds of web pages related to magic lanterns, (2) a comprehensive bibliography of research articles on magic lanterns and related subjects, with new material constantly being added, and (3) direct links to hundreds of electronic books from Google Books and other sources covering all aspects of magic lantern history, from the original illustrations of magic lanterns in Kircher's work to 19th century books. In most cases, clicking on the link will take you directly to the pages covering magic lanterns.
