About This Item
London: Fortescue Mann, 1896. David Simkin reports, "In a classified advert in an 1896 edition of The Photogram, Fortescue Mann was offering "Opaline Stereoscopic Slides", at 6d each, supplied from his shop at 48 Elgin Avenue, Paddington, London." Opaline stereoviews are albumen prints mounted on card stock and enclosed under a sheet of glass. Mann's opaline stereoscopic views were views of London, Seaside resorts, hop gardens, county life, river scenery, etc. Note: There is some debate over whether the London views by Fortescue Mann were taken by John Fortescue Mann (1848-1897) or by his son Reginald Fortescue Mann (1881-1916). David Simkin (Sussex Photo History) attributes them to the father while Douglas Heil (The Art of Stereography) attributes them to the son. Both acknowledge that the latter would have been quite a prodigy to have created these fine images at the age of 15 in 1896.. First Edition. Glass. Collectible-Very Good. Illus. by Fortescue Mann. 3 1/4" by 6 3/4". Photo.
