Annuaire Général et International de la Photographie 1905

Pub­lished in 1905, this edi­tion of the Annu­aire Général et Inter­na­tion­al de la Pho­togra­phie served as a com­pre­hen­sive ref­er­ence work for pho­tog­ra­phers, com­bin­ing tech­ni­cal infor­ma­tion, direc­to­ries, and com­mer­cial advertisements.
Stere­oscopy is rep­re­sent­ed through­out the vol­ume, with adver­tise­ments by man­u­fac­tur­ers includ­ing Jules Richard, Gau­mont, and oth­ers. Fea­tured prod­ucts include the Véras­cope, Tax­iphote, Stéréo-Block-Notes, and Stéréro­drome, doc­u­ment­ing the grow­ing impor­tance of stereo­scop­ic pho­tog­ra­phy in the ear­ly twen­ti­eth century.
Today, pub­li­ca­tions such as this are valu­able his­tor­i­cal sources for the study of stereo­scop­ic equip­ment, man­u­fac­tur­ers, and the pho­to­graph­ic trade.
