Scène uit Assepoester 1867

This stereoscopic photograph, "Scène uit Assepoester," by Charles Dauvois depicts a scene from the famous fairytale Cinderella. The image is divided into two nearly identical sections, creating the illusion of depth when viewed through a stereoscope. The scene portrays the apotheosis of Cinderella's story, likely with her surrounded by her new family and the other characters of the tale. The image, like many stereoscopic photographs of the time, captures a popular narrative in a manner that offered a new, three-dimensional perspective for viewers in the 19th century.
