rlr4037 Posted 14 July , 2023 Share Posted 14 July , 2023 I have a group of private stereoviews taken at the Furnes Field Hospital in Antwerp on 1914. I am trying to identify the photographer. Is there anyone knowledgeable about someone on the medical staff of the field hospital who had a stereo camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 18 July , 2023 Share Posted 18 July , 2023 (edited) Well, that's at Furnes (Veurne), Not Antwerp. You can see the coat of arms of the province of West Flanders. Edited 18 July , 2023 by Niko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have this great section about the Ocean Hospital ( Belgian Red Cross) established at nearby La Panne . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaBam Posted 31 July , 2023 Share Posted 31 July , 2023 P.S. I like those photos. I dont know what stereo views means but they take subtle shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know what stereo views means but they take subtle shots Stereo photography is when two almost identical (but very subtly different) photographs are taken side-by-side. When viewed correctly this replicates how the human eye/brain views the world and creates a 3D image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereo_photography_techniques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
