Description: Diablerie tissue stereoview photograph entitled simply Enfers, by B.K. of Paris, circa 1868. The tissue view does not seem to have an actual title, but the word Enfer appears above a cave opening at bottom. The view features a tableaux with winged angels rising up above the cave opening, many of them kneeling with hands clasped in prayer. One winged angel has a lance and seems to be forcing another down into the area below. I see no skeletons or demons, but menacing eyes glow from the cave opening. This tissue stereoview was published by Adolphe Block, according to the scholarship of Dennis Pellerin, Paula Fleming, and Brian May. I don’t have their book Diableries, but this view does not seem to appear on Brian May’s londonstereo.com website. If someone knows which BK diablerie series this is from, please let me know. The stereoview is in only fair or better condition with light to moderate wear and soiling. There is some rubbing at the square corners of the card and the outside layers are pulling apart, but the more substantial damage is the tear and hole and creasing in the right photograph. There is a tear in the backing paper layer behind it. The intentional cut illuminating the spear in the left photograph seems to have opened up a bit. The interior tinted photographs exhibit good or better tonal range and show good or better detail. A wonderful diablerie stereoview!
