Vintage Visuals Announces:
General Robert E Lee in Stereo
09.06.2011 - Hutchinson, Kansas
Graffiti, a botched photo sitting requiring a retake, and a desire to recreate a famous photo have resulted, 145 years later, in the discovery of a stereo photograph of General Robert E. Lee. Careful study of not just the images of Lee but the precise location of Lee's stance on brick flooring and the identification of the camera angles, indicates images taken minutes apart could be adjusted for size and exposure to provide a true stereo pair. This stereo image was not lost; it was merely unrecognized. It is only the third known stereo of General Lee and the only one of him in uniform.
Additional details describing this "discovery" are available in
A “New” 3-D View of General Robert E Lee

How would you like to OWN a bit of this history?

Purchase a high resolution Holmes Style stereoscopic slide showing General Robert E Lee in uniform.
The back of the slide has a short description of the image and its discovery. This can be viewed with
stereoscopes availble from Vintage Visuals
or antique scopes.

Purchase a stereo view card showing General Robert E Lee in uniform.
While not quite the resolution of the stereo slide, this is a convenient way to share views of
the General in all his 3D-ness without needing a stereoscope.
The back of the view card also has a short description of the image and its discovery.

Purchase a copy of the paper that describes the details of this discovery. Additional details (such as a question
about Lee's vest), lots of photos (including a detail image of the graffiti itself), and references are all included.
