Diableries: The Complete Edition: Stereoscopic Adventures in Hell

Product Information

In one scene the Devil supervises the production of cannonballs in his nightmarish foundry. In another he travels on a demon-driven train, waved off by a skeletal crowd at the Gare de Purgatoire. Every picture tells several stories. While ranks of bony soldiers line up for inspection by a whip-wielding Satan, one of the young recruits snatches a sneaky cup of juice, sold by an itinerant vendor. Elsewhere, hook-wielding skeletons pile crowds of unfaithful lovers into the basket of a hot-air balloon; a cowering couple hide, but a scratched wedding certificate (the symbol of infidelity) shows that they will be next.

ZOE: Well there’s an exhibition to celebrate devilish Diableries, which is taking place at Soho’s Century Club in London, Monday the 28th of October. Brian, you’re gonna be there.

Two 19th-century artists were principally responsible for these images. One was called Louis Alfred Habert; the other was Pierre Adolphe Hennetier, who started as a sculptor for the Church, producing pretty straight illustrations of what life would be like for sinners in hell. “Gradually, though, a little bit of dark humour started to creep in,” May explains, “as well as references to current events and figures in authority. In fact, although a lot of the scenes are taking place in hell, most of the skeletons and other characters seem to be having a fair amount of fun.” Uncover the stories behind the Diableries and follow their journey through the underworld using the full size OWL stereoscopic viewer, neatly housed in a storage envelope and inserted alongside the book in a protective slipcase. Once the scene had been created and photographed, the models would be broken up and used again for a different tableau.”

The Traditions of the Camarilla strongly forbade the practice under any circumstance until recent nights, but the majority of the Sabbat and Banu Haqim have always considered it quite acceptable, one of the reasons both groups are viewed with such fear and disgust. While one's rank in a Path of Enlightenment may fall as a result of committing diablerie, several Paths actually encourage vampires to perform the act under the proper circumstances. For us 3-D addicts, it’s quite obvious that these two versions of the famed ‘Mona Lisa’ are NOT a stereo pair, but it takes just a little more time to prove it.

Brian May, astronomer and Queen guitarist, is also a passionate and knowledgeable collector of Victorian photography—and in particular, of 3D (stereoscopic) photography. publish stereoscopic books and this is one of them. The “Diableries” book and it’s the first time that the complete collection of 187 I think it is, Diableries, ever have actually been in one book. I’ve looked into this theory more than once myself in the past – the theory that some Renaissance artists understood the principle of stereoscopy, and applied it in their work to make stereoscopic pairs. Some of the cards seem to suggest it is possible to have fun in the underworld with scenes of ice skating and swimming. “I think it must have been comforting for people to see people in hell enjoying themselves,” said May.

At the time Diableries captured the interest of the public thanks to the medium of the stereoscopic cards which had been the latest trend since the early 1850s. These dioramas have several layers of meaning (satirical, political, religious) that are all revealed in the book.

But let's not lose sight of the fact that this is a book about Satan. Remember? The Deceiver? The Father of Lies? May, 66, has been fascinated with Diableries since he stumbled upon one while digging through piles of junk at the Portobello Road Market in West London in the late ’60s. He asked around, but nobody knew quite what the card filled with the devil and skeletons was. Eventually, he traveled to Paris to dig for more information. DaVinci did write about monocular and binocular vision, and studied aspects of optics including eye anatomy and light reflection, and he even experimented with colored light sources,” Science News’ Erika Engelhaupt writes. “But it’s not clear whether he put all the pieces together to understand how to create a stereoscopic image. The paintings don’t quite make a perfect stereo pair.”Leonardo is exactly the kind of wonderful lateral thinking man, immersed in art and science, who would could have figured that out. It would be lovely to think that he did, and it’s very understandable that these guys, Carbon and Hesslinger, would have got excited by the prospect. To discover whether he really did, we need to look carefully at what stereoscopy, otherwise known as 3-D photography, is. Paula Richardson Fleming is a photo historian with a special interest in stereoscopy. Her association with Brian and Denis came from their common passion for the Diableries. In the first edition of this book, published in 2013, there were two stereo cards missing from the Diableries series! In 2018, after a worldwide search, finally the last card was found, and is published for the very first time in this new edition of Diableries, along with the story of its discovery.
