The Secret behind the Stereo Cards



Ich habe schon öfter hier mitgeteilt, dass ich eine heimliche Schwäche für diese grieseligen alten Doppelfotos habe, die man vor allem in der Bildersammlung der Öffentlichen Bibliothek der Stadt New York (NYPL Digital Gallery) in rauen Mengen finden kann. Auch deshalb, weil sie eine große Menge an Fotos aus dem 19. Jahrhundert liefern, angefangen in den 1860ern.

Wer die Bowery Boys abonniert hat, hat das Folgende vermutlich schon gesehen, aber für alle Nicht-Bowery-Boys-Leser will ich das hier auch noch mal veröffentlichen.

Das Geheimnis dieser Fotografien ist das, das das eine sehr alte Form von dreidimensionalen Fotos ist. Man hat die damals in ein spezielles Gerät zum Ansehen gepackt, vermutlich Stereoscop oder so genannt und dann wurde aus dem zweidimensionalen Bild ein dreidimensionales. So weit so gut. 

Die NYPL Digital Gallery ist nun hingegangen und hat ein neues Tool entworfen, das sich "Stereograminator" nennt und das es ermöglicht, tatsächlich einen 3-D-Eindruck aus den uralten Fotos herauszuholen. Glaubst Du nicht? Dann schau Dir das hier an:

Je nach verwendeter Stereo Card kann der dreidimensionale Effekt verblüffend gut ausfallen. Ich habe die Sammlung mal nach ein paar Suchbegriffen wie "Wall Street", "Broadway", "Brooklyn Bridge" oder "Coney Island" abgesucht und schon einiges interessantes Material zu Tage gefördert.

Natürlich ist das ganze etwas zappelig und anstrengend und ein wenig erdbebenartig, aber vergesst nicht, dass diese Stereoansichten zumeist zwischen 110 und 150 Jahren auf dem Buckel haben und vor diesem Hintergrund sind die Eindrücke, die hier überliefert wurden, wirklich bemerkenswert.

Wer selber mal auf die Suche gehen möchte, kann das hier tun: http://stereo.nypl.org/
Zuerst GALLERY öffnen, dann hat man auch eine Suchmaske zur Verfügung.

Ansonsten ist nachfolgend schon mal einiges an Fundmaterial. Wer noch eine musikalische Untermalung zu den stummen Bildern sucht, kann mal das hier versuchen: ein Live-Konzert von Prodigy, das passt ganz gut zu dem Gezappel. Mit rechtem Mausklick in einer neuen Registerkarte öffnen. Sorry für den nackten Ansager und die anstößigen Texte.
