1920 Bunker at Fort Vaux

Nice slide.
I'm impressed by the clear separation of the foreground vegetation from the  fort and graves (achieved using my squinting technique)

For some reason, the foreground fenceposts are particularly impressive in 3D

(The caption on the envelope says July 1923 by the way)

That's an impressive crater.
Do you know what is the cause of the dark and light banding effect that is actually present on the negatives?

good morning,

This corresponds to the shade.
It is almost possible to identify the exact time at which it was taken.
Position of the arrow (north) and the shadow.
sun facing South-East.

The light banding is on two of my stereo glass photos and is not part of the view, so must be some kind of fault with the camera or the neg as is in this photo of St Quentin Cathedral 1919.

The rest of the negatives are ok and could be the old age of the negs.

Ah, right.
You're photographing the slides on an LED panel aren't you?
This may be due to the flicker frequency of the LEDs.
If your camera has an anti-flicker setting you can try that (one of my Olympuses has that).
Or if you haven't, you could just set a slow shutter speed like 1/25th of a second.
That way, all the LEDs will have been on and off once so the banding should disappear.
Off course, you'll need a tripod or a decent bracing system to prevent camera shake at those slow shutter speeds.

The banding is on two of the original glass negatives when they were developed in 1919, when i hold them up to the outside light you can see them on the glass.

   I take the photos of them with my iphone on my LED panel with a cardboard box with a cut out hole to keep the iphone steady.

OK. The banding being in the negative  must be some manufacturing or processing artefact I suppose.

I went on a tour to Fort Douaumont and others and the Verdun area3 years ago and was suprised at the pounding the forts got which you can see even now

Great pictures

One more from my collection . Reims Cathedral 1919. Two more to list from this collection.

Very rare lot from an amateur which includes 20 stereo glass plates in their original box on the ruins of the war of 14-18 concerning above all the cities of Reims, Soissons, Saint-Quentin and their cathedrals but also the forts from Vaux, Douaumont, Tergnier, Berry-au-Bac, Noyon. Plates which are all in their original small transparent pockets, captioned and dated, 1919  to 1923. Format 13 cm by 6 cm. Reims in this photo. He was still taking photos in the 1930s

That one is a cracker.
They really knew that some foreground feature would really show off the stereo vision.
In a single image, that smashed wall and doorway add nothing to the shot, but in 3D, it really makes the shot.
