‎First appearance of these classic paper in physiological optics in which Wheatstone discovered the stereoscopic vison of the human eye.Stereopsis was first described by Wheatstone in 1838 (in the paper offered). In 1840 he was awarded the Royal Medal of the Royal Society for his explanation of binocular vision, a research which led him to make stereoscopic drawings and construct the stereoscope. He showed that our impression of solidity is gained by the combination in the mind of two separate pictures of an object taken by both of our eyes from different points of view. Thus, in the stereoscope, an arrangement of lenses or mirrors, two photographs of the same object taken from different points are so combined as to make the object stand out with a solid aspect. Sir David Brewster improved the stereoscope by dispensing with the mirrors, and bringing it into its existing form with lenses.""As the inventor of the stereoscope, later developed by Brewster, Wheatstone found himself - to his own surprise - the first since Leonardo da Vinvi to discuss depth perception in terms of the different image received by the eye...""(DSB XIV, p. 290).Garrison & Morton No. 1498.‎

‎Portrait of the Rt. Hon. John Bricht M.P.‎

‎London ca. 1875. Original photograph cabinet card albumen print 165 x 11 cm. - The London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company 110 & 108 Regent Street and 54 Cheapside. John Bright 16 November 1811 - 27 March 1889 Quaker was a British Radical and Liberal statesman one of the greatest orators of his generation and a strong critic of British foreign policy. In partnership with Richard Cobden he founded the Anti-Corn Law League aimed at abolishing the unpopular Corn Laws which protected landowners� interests by levying taxes on imported wheat thus raising the price of bread at a time when factory-owners were trying to cut wages. Abolition was achieved in 1846. Bright also worked with Cobden in another Free Trade initiative the Cobden-Chevalier Treaty of 1860 promoting closer interdependence between Britain and France. This campaign was conducted in collaboration with French economist Michel Chevalier and succeeded despite Parliament�s endemic mistrust of the French. Bright sat in the House of Commons from 1843 to 1889 promoting free trade electoral reform and religious freedom. He was almost a lone voice in opposing the Crimean War; he also opposed Gladstone�s proposed Home Rule for Ireland. The phrase �Mother of Parliaments� was coined by Bright. Bright was born at Greenbank Rochdale in Lancashire England - one of the early centres of the Industrial Revolution. His father Jacob Bright was a much-respected Quaker who had started a cotton mill at Rochdale in 1809. Jacob's father Abraham was a Wiltshire yeoman who early in the 18th century moved to Coventry where his descendants remained. Jacob Bright was educated at the Ackworth School of the Society of Friends and apprenticed to a fustian manufacturer at New Mills Derbyshire. John Bright was his son by his second wife Martha Wood daughter of a Quaker shopkeeper of Bolton-le-Moors. Educated at Ackworth School she was a woman of great strength of character and refined taste. There were eleven children of this marriage of whom John was the eldest surviving son. His younger brother was Jacob Bright an MP and mayor. His sisters included Priscilla Bright whose husband was Duncan McLaren MP and Margaret Bright Lucas. John was a delicate child and was sent as a day pupil to a boarding school near his home kept by William Littlewood. A year at the Ackworth School two years at Bootham School2 York and a year and a half at Newton near Clitheroe completed his education. He learned he himself said but little Latin and Greek but acquired a great love of English literature which his mother fostered and a love of outdoor pursuits. In his sixteenth year he entered his father's mill and in due time became a partner in the business. In Rochdale Jacob Bright was a leader of the opposition to a local church-rate. Rochdale was also prominent in the movement for parliamentary reform by which the town successfully claimed to have a member allotted to it under the Reform Bill. John Bright took part in both campaigns. He was an ardent Nonconformist proud to number among his ancestors John Gratton a friend of George Fox and one of the persecuted and imprisoned preachers of the Religious Society of Friends. His political interest was probably first kindled by the Preston election in 1830 in which Edward Stanley after a long struggle was defeated by Henry "Orator" Hunt. But it was as a member of the Rochdale Juvenile Temperance Band that Bright first learned public speaking. These young men went out into the villages borrowed a chair of a cottager and spoke from it at open-air meetings. John Bright's first extempore speech was at a temperance meeting. Bright got his notes muddled and broke down. The chairman gave out a temperance song and during the singing told Bright to put his notes aside and say what came into his mind. Bright obeyed began with much hesitancy but found his tongue and made an excellent address although sometimes he spoke with a syntax similar to Yoda from Star Wars. Tales of these early years circulated through England and the United States late into his career to the extent that students at institutions such as the young Cornell University regarded him as an exemplar for activities such as the Irving Literary Society. On some early occasions however he committed his speech to memory. In 1832 he called on the Rev. John Aldis an eminent Baptist minister to accompany him to a local Bible meeting. Mr Aldis described him as a slender modest young gentleman who surprised him by his intelligence and thoughtfulness but who seemed nervous as they walked to the meeting together. At the meeting he made a stimulating speech and on the way home asked for advice. Mr Aldis counselled him not to learn his speeches but to write out and commit to memory certain passages and the peroration. This "first lesson in public speaking" as Bright called it was given in his twenty-first year but he had not then contemplated a public career. He was a fairly prosperous man of business very happy in his home always ready to take part in the social educational and political life of his native town. A founder of the Rochdale Literary and Philosophical Society he took a leading part in its debates and on returning from a holiday journey in the east gave the society a lecture on his travels. He first met Richard Cobden in 1836 or 1837. Cobden was an alderman of the newly formed Manchester Corporation and Bright went to ask him to speak at an education meeting in Rochdale. Cobden consented and at the meeting was much struck by Bright's short speech and urged him to speak against the Corn Laws. His first speech on the Corn Laws was made at Rochdale in 1838 and in the same year he joined the Manchester provisional committee which in 1839 founded the Anti-Corn Law League He was still only the local public man taking part in all public movements especially in opposition to John Feilden's proposed factory legislation and to the Rochdale church-rate. In 1839 he built the house which he called "One Ash" and married Elizabeth daughter of Jonathan Priestman of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. In November of the same year there was a dinner in Bolton in honour of Abraham Paulton who had just returned from an Anti-Corn Law tour in Scotland. Among the speakers were Cobden and Bright and the dinner is memorable as the first occasion on which the two future leaders appeared together on a Free Trade platform. Bright is described by the historian of the League as "a young man then appearing for the first time in any meeting out of his own town and giving evidence by his energy and by his grasp of the subject of his capacity soon to take a leading part in the great agitation." In 1840 he led a movement against the Rochdale church-rate speaking from a tombstone in the churchyard where it looks down on the town in the valley below. A daughter Helen was born to him; but his young wife after a long illness died of tuberculosis in September 1841. Three days after her death at Leamington Cobden called to see him. "I was in the depths of grief" said Bright when unveiling the statue of his friend at Bradford in 1877 "I might almost say of despair for the life and sunshine of my house had been extinguished." Cobden spoke some words of condolence but "after a time he looked up and said 'There are thousands of homes in England at this moment where wives mothers and children are dying of hunger. Now when the first paroxysm of your grief is past I would advise you to come with me and we will never rest till the Corn Laws are repealed.' I accepted his invitation" added Bright "and from that time we never ceased to labour hard on behalf of the resolution which we had made." Etc. Wikipedia.

‎Portrait of Joseph Chamberlain.‎

‎London ca. 1875. Original photograph cabinet card albumen print 11 x 165 cm. London Stereoscopic & Photographic Company 110 & 108 Regent Street and 54 Cheapside London. Joseph Chamberlain 8 July 1836 - 2 July 1914 was a British politician and statesman. Unlike most major politicians of the time he was a self-made businessman who had not attended university. Born in London Chamberlain made his career in Birmingham first as a manufacturer of screws and then as a notable Mayor of the city. During his early adulthood he was a radical Liberal Party member and a campaigner for educational reform. He entered the House of Commons aged almost forty relatively late in life for a front-rank politician. Rising to power through his influence with the Liberal grassroots organisation he served as President of the Board of Trade in Gladstone's Second Government 1880-85. At the time Chamberlain was notable for his attacks on the Conservative leader Lord Salisbury and in the 1885 general election he proposed the "Unauthorised Programme" of benefits for newly enfranchised agricultural labourers. Chamberlain resigned from Gladstone's Third Government in 1886 in opposition to Irish Home Rule and after the Liberal Party split he became a Liberal Unionist a party which included a bloc of MPs based in and around Birmingham. From the 1895 general election the Liberal Unionists were in coalition with the Conservative Party under Chamberlain's former opponent Lord Salisbury. Chamberlain accepted the post of Secretary of State for the Colonies declining other positions. In this job he presided over the Second Boer War and was the dominant figure in the Unionist Government's re-election at the "Khaki Election" in 1900. In 1903 he resigned from the Cabinet to campaign for tariff reform. He obtained the support of most Unionist MPs for this stance but the split contributed to the landslide Unionist defeat at the 1906 general election. Some months later shortly after turning seventy he was disabled by a stroke. Despite never becoming Prime Minister he is regarded as one of the most important British politicians of the late 19th and early 20th centuries as well as a renowned orator and an interesting character who split both main parties. Winston Churchill later wrote of him that he was the man "who made the weather". Chamberlain was the father by different marriages of Sir Austen Chamberlain and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.
