2019 marks the 200th birthday of William Powell Frith, artist of Royal Holloway Picture Gallery’s beloved Railway Station (1862). Photo historian Denis Pellerin takes us on a journey back in time when photographers were inspired by Frith and other artists to re-stage popular artworks for the Stereoscope. Come and see how Stereoscopy became a unique – and relatively inexpensive – way of getting art into the middle class parlour.
