A devilish 1860s sensation -- finally unleashed on the 21st century! In France, around 1860, from the loins of a traditional national fascination with all things diabolical, was born a new sensation: a series of visionary dioramas depicting life in a strange parallel universe called ENFER -- Hell -- communicated to an eager audience by means of stereoscopic cards to be viewed in the stereoscopes which had already become popular in the 1850s. This 3-D phenomenon, which fascinated a nation for 40 years, is now yours to share. This book, the fruit of half a lifetime's study by three impassioned authors, brings every one of the published Diableries into the 21st century for the very first time -- now in a handsome deluxe edition. Some of the Diableries are so rare that at the time of writing there was no known complete collection of the originals of these masterpieces. But this book enables all but two of the 182 scenes to be enjoyed just as their creators intended, in magnificent 3-D, using the high-quality, patented OWL stereoscopic viewer supplied. Each book is gold-tooled red vegan faux leather, gilt-edged, and includes a ribbon marker. There are 250 numbered limited editions and each book comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Brian May.
