EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful snapshot of a bygone era, we are transported to a time before 1868 when the art of stereoscopic photography was capturing the imagination of ladies in refined society. The artist, Jacob Spoel, skillfully captures the essence of this amusing scene as a group of elegantly dressed women gather around a table to marvel at these fascinating photographs. Dressed in their finest gowns and fashionable attire, these ladies exude grace and sophistication. Their attention is completely absorbed by the stereoscopic photographs before them, each lady leaning forward with curiosity and excitement. It's evident that this new form of entertainment has captivated their imaginations. The painting beautifully showcases the intricate details of their clothing - from delicate lace collars to voluminous skirts adorned with bows and ribbons. The fashion accessories they wear add an extra touch of elegance to their ensembles. As we observe this "funny company" through Spoel's masterful brushstrokes, it becomes clear that beyond mere amusement lies a sense of camaraderie among these women. They have come together to share in this novel experience, forming bonds over their shared fascination for technology and artistry. This oil on canvas genre piece found in the collection of Rijksmuseum Amsterdam offers us a glimpse into both history and culture. It reminds us how even centuries ago people sought out ways to entertain themselves while also appreciating fine art images like those captured through stereoscopy. Let us cherish such moments where technology intersects with human connection across
