Greek and Egyptian Sculpture at Crystal Palace is a 1855 photographic by City Stereoscopic Depot, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This image shows two old black-and-white photos side by side, each framed in a dark holder. They look like they were taken through a curved lens, giving a 3D effect. The photos show rows of stone statues—some look Greek, others Egyptian—displayed in a big, open space with arches and columns. These photos were made to help people see ancient sculptures in a new way. The curved lenses were a big deal back then for making 3D images. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more original photos like these.
