Created with NYPL’s new Stereogranimator, which lets users create .gifs out of the library’s archive of over 40,000 19th century stereoscopic images.
“Photographers around the world produced millions of stereoscopic views between 1850 and 1930…Around the world, independent and entrepreneurial photographers broke into the growing market for illustrations of all types of subjects: local history and events, grand landscapes, foreign monuments, charming genre scenes, portraits of notables and urban architecture. War and disasters such as floods, fires, train-wrecks, and earthquakes were enormously popular subjects.”—NYPL

In February and March, join Triple Canopy at Print Studio for discussions at the MoMA Library about the nature of publication, and participate in the creation of a publication derived from those discussions.

Dalibor Martinis. Osoba na slici: nije/može biti/je = Person in photo: is not/could be/is Dalibor Martinis. Zagreb: Podroom, 1976.

The exhibition “Scenes from Zagreb: Artists’ Publications of the New Art Practice,” organized by David Senior, is on display at MoMA Library through February 17, 2012.
