STEREOSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHS]. CUNNINGHAM, D.J. and WATERSON. The Edinburgh Stereoscopic Atlas of Anatomy . Edinburgh: T.C. & E.C. Jack, [early 20th century].
STEREOSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHS]. CUNNINGHAM, D.J. and WATERSON. The Edinburgh Stereoscopic Atlas of Anatomy . Edinburgh: T.C. & E.C. Jack, [early 20th century]. 204 mounted black-and-white photographs (each approximately 3½ x 7¼ inches; with mounts 9 x 7¼ inches), each on heavy mount with printed text, together in four original cloth pull-off cases with printed paper labels. [ With: ] a wooden stereoscopic viewer. The set comprises: I. Abdomen; II. Pelvis & Thorax; III. Thorax, Upper Limb, Cranio-Cerebral Topography; and IV. Central Nervous System, Brain, Head and Neck. Cunningham was professor of anatomy at Trinity College, Dublin. His Textbook of Anatomy was still in print in its revised 11th edition as late as 1972. Stereoscopic viewing of images became very popular after the Great Exhibition in the mid-19th century and remained so until about the 1930s. Presence of the viewer is very unusual. (5)
