I have a particular interest as my mother (who worked in the photography industry) and her parents grew up in the the village. (Both married in the church.) I spent a lot of time myself there as a child. Not only is this a wonderful collection of memories it also shows what a clever man T.R Williams was with his stereoscopic photos.Absolutely beautifully presented with the main book and a separate stereoscope in a presentation box. The stereoscope is easy to assemble and enables the viewer to see the images the way T.R Williams intended. Perfect book for lovers of photography and village history.Nothing short of a masterpiece. Thank you Brian May and Elena Vidal. This is my mother encapsulated in a book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Delight *by L***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2018* This book is completely charming. If you want to be taken back to a simpler, slower time, then make 30 minutes for yourself, pour a cup of tea and maybe get a plate of hob nobs and spend some time just perusing this book. You will be completely transported by the colour 3D images of an old village in Victorian England, At first you will be taken in by the wonderful images, but before long you are wondering about these people you are looking at; their lives, their jobs, their daily routines, dreams and families.....it really is that kid of book. It will take you to another place completely. An absolute delight. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A pinnacle of early 3-D art in Victorian times *by F***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 April 2010* Humankind's fascination with 3-D vision goes back a very long way, with Italian treatises identifying clear understanding of its principles as early as the 16th century. The first conceptualisation of an apparatus (which its inventor, Sir Charles Wheatstone called a "stereoscope") designed to reproduce that effect - using drawings - dates to the 1830s, prior to the official announcement of the discovery of photography. But it was photography that made it possible to produce real 3-D images, thanks to Brewster's binocular camera a decade later. It was a phenomenon that caught the nation's and indeed the world's imagination to a quite extraordinary extent. It was used with both the daguerreotype and calotype processes, but it was only with the invention of the albumen process that mass reproduction of images became possible and financially accessible to the public at large.T.R. Williams learnt his craft at the feet of one of the greats of early portrait photography, A. Claudet, in London, but soon set up his own studios, and was soon popular with Queen Victoria herself.Brian May, the polymath Queen singer, had long tried to track down the location, thought by some to be a composite contruct, of the images in this collection, stated to be a Berkshire village. But it was only very recently that an Italian net surfer correctly identified the village as a real one, Hinton Waldrist, in present-day Oxfordshire, but which used to be in Berkshire. With the help of photo-historian Elena Vidal, May has produced a sumptuous book that brilliantly recreates the magic of these exquisitely composed images, and brings a 'lost' village back to life, both in historical terms and in terms of its perception of itself today. The copies are high quality ('though to my eye lack the real crispness for which Williams's work was known), and it takes only a very little effort to see them in 3-D even without the rather flimsy spectacles provided.As Avatar, Alice and other 3-D films reawaken public interest in "seeing in depth", this gorgeous book is a timely reminder of the artistic and photo-journalistic vision and technical brilliance of our Victorian forebears, and confirms that there really is very little new under the sun! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/83746452-a-village-lost-and-found-scenes-in-our-village-by](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/83746452-a-village-lost-and-found-scenes-in-our-village-by) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
