Steriopticon and cures
Dear All, Two questions: Does anyone know how a 'steriopticon' worked? It was a type of projector, probably of slides, that MAY have produced a 3-D image but more likely allowed for fading and dissolving from one image to another, possibly rapidly. William Macewen used one to great effect in showing slides of brain sections in the inaugural Lane lectures at Cooper Medical College. Does anyone know the whereabouts of the cast of the hysterical club foot that Charcot mentioned in his paper 'The Faith Cure' or the photograph of the girl standing erect immediately after the cure? Both were once in the Eglise Saintes Maries (Church of the Holy Maries) in Saintes Maries de la Me in the Camargue but neither seem to be there now.
