GREAT MYTHS OF MY CHILDHOOD: THE VIEW MASTER

The history of this contraption is really fascinating. I will not tell you about it because I find it in detail sull'impareggiabile Wikipedia:

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/View-Master

For myself, I can say that as a child I got viaggioni the envy of those with the most avid users of psychedelic drugs.

part of my obsessions vintage, I went to ravanare the Internet to find out who could be worked out and realized that the great scenes in 3D, once called "dioramas" perfect and so incredibly detailed that I have had dreams. And apparently I was not the only one, because of the magic box was invented in the '50s, he lived at various times of revival, so that many of my peers in the world retain the memory and in some fortunate cases, such as for myself, may still be the viaggioni then, having miraculously preserved by the cataclysms of cleaning up the family unit and its disks, sought after by collectors. In short, we are a bunch of absolute madness that if the recount of the View Master in a myriad of related web sites.

But back to the point: I discovered that many of the incredible dioramas of the View Master were born from the imagination of a woman, Florence Thomas, of which the Internet I found several quotes, this is perhaps the most exhaustive

Well, look at what has been unable to Florence (and there was no computer, only the fantasy and clay):

I discovered that the monuments and natural beauties of Australia, Russia and Paris, but after all these photographs are simple, practical mini -slide. Unforgettable are the 3D reconstructions of the fairy tales of The Thousand and One Nights , particularly Aladdin and the wonderful lamp and The flying carpet, and the seven wonders of the world (actually twenty-seven old, seven modern and seven natural): The pyramids, built in perfect proportions with the slaves who erected the arms leading to the rocks, the colossus of Rhodes, the lighthouse of Alexandria that illuminates the water in the storm, the lush Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the tomb of Mausolus at Halicarnassus and the statue of Zeus at Olympia ...

What an incredible, marvelous magic!

View Master forever!
