Zeppelins in 3D

Zeppelins in 3D

Existing stereophotographs of the majestic airships Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg have been made with stereocameras during the time the zeppelins were still in service, forming a finite collection. However, new three-dimensional images have now been constructed using videos of historical motion-pictures. This technique (“stereo extractions,” as developed by the author) has resulted in a unique set of 70 stereographs of these lighter-than-air passenger liners, including one of airship pioneer and -commander dr. Hugo Eckener and one with journalist Grace Drummond-Hay during the world tour of the Graf Zeppelin in 1929. The stereo images in "Zeppelins in 3d" are for parallax-viewing (cross-eyed, as explained in the introduction of the book; there is no need for a stereoscope or special glasses) and provide an opportunity to re-live the airship era in 3D, with impressions that up so far were only available in 2D.
