From the Publisher:
Hidden Depths—a collection of the finest stereo photographs of Jacques Henri Lartigue

Jacques Henri Lartigue was one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. His work has been widely reproduced, with over fifty monographs, and exhibitions in major galleries throughout the world. His finest photographs are iconic images—the snapshots of a brilliant amateur intent on capturing every glittering instant of a glamorous life.

Few people realise, however, that many of his most famous photographs have literally been cut in half for printing. These photographs were originally taken in stereo (also known as 3D) which requires a pair of images to work effectively. When properly reproduced, using both images, they show all the depth of the original scene.

Until now, only Lartigue and his immediate family had ever seen these photographs in their original form. Now, at last, Design for Life is publishing a superb quality limited edition set of one hundred of his finest stereo photographs with an accompanying booklet and stereo viewer. This work is an essential purchase for anybody with an interest in the history of photography, but if you just want to catch a glimpse of the life of the rich and famous in belle époque France—the dawn of aviation and the automobile, the glamour of the stage or a day at the races, the first winter sports—there is no better means.
