Scène uit Assepoester 1867

"Scène uit Assepoester" (Scene from Cinderella) is a stereoscopic photograph by Charles Dauvois from 1867, depicting a scene from the fairytale. The image captures a theatrical performance with a group of actors dressed in elaborate costumes, possibly during a ball scene, as suggested by the grand setting with palm trees. The photograph is a great example of stereoscopic photography and allows the viewer to experience a three-dimensional effect, adding to the immersive quality of the theatrical scene. Stereoscopic photography, or "stereoview," was popular during the 19th century, offering viewers a glimpse into real and fictional worlds through a new medium.
