GEORGE SWAN NOTTAGE - LONDON STEREOSCOPIC COMPANY
Nottage manufactures a Stereoscopic
Camera that will fit in a man or lady's pocket. It measures
8 by 4 3/4 inches and is 2 inches deep. Nottage began the London
Stereoscopic Company, in 1854. Their specialty was the mass production
of stereoscopic photographs. The company by 1856 had produced
an estimated one-half million Stereoscopes and
Stereo Cards. The demand was so immense that
by this time, The London Stereoscopic Company claimed to possess
at least 10,000 titles in its inventory. By 1858, Nottage had
100,000 stereo cards in stock. Stereoscopic Photography
was at it's height.

Today,
Getty Images own over 40,000 glass-plate negatives from The
London Stereoscopic Company archives, which went out
of business in 1922. In its heyday, it was the largest busines
of it's kind in England and perhaps the world, with offices around
the globe. Unfortunately, many of it's glass plate negatives,
the size of window panes, had been re-used to make greenhouse
glass.
