Enthusiasts Invitation:: Midcentury Stereopanorama Feb. 3rd

January 28, 2023

Dear VPES Members and Friends of the Velaslavasay Panorama—

You are cordially invited to join an evening  "Stereo Salon" with Eric Drysdale

MIDCENTURY STEREOPANORAMA

Friday, February 3, 2023 - 7:00pm at the Velaslavasay Panorama

On Friday, February 3rd at 7:00pm, join collector Eric Drysdale for an amazing visit to mid-century America through a largely-forgotten technology enthusiasts call the "Virtual Reality of the 1950s." Introduced in 1947, the Stereo Realist camera system brought full color 3-D photography of astonishing realism to the masses. The technology peaked in the mid-50s and slowly disappeared.

In this evening "stereo-salon" you’ll see a selection of stereopanoramas in high-quality fully-restored vintage viewers—the way they were meant to be seen. You'll be brought back to midcentury America with startling presence and vividness. You'll see every aspect of life: work and play; home and travel; city, suburb and country. Eric Drysdale has been collecting these amazing images for over 20 years and will guide you through the experience. This evening is presented exclusively for VPES members and friends of the VP.

Only 10 guests TOTAL can be accommodated at each show—Please RSVP (for yourself and up to ONE guest only) at your earliest convenience to vpes@panoramaonview.org.

Reservations will be given on a first-come-first-serve basis.
