16 STEREO WORLD July/August 1987 STEREO VIEWING NEW ZEALAND'S PAST by John Dennis This little 18 page collection of views is one of those delightful 3-D surprises that seem to appear spon- taneously with slowly increasing frequency in recent years. William Main, of the Exposures Gallery in Wellington, has assembled 48 views covering the years 1900 to 1914 in the cities, towns, and countryside of New Zealand. As one could expect, a number of the views are by George Rose and Company, but many of the other names credited in the captions will be new to readers outside New Zealand. (With the exception of the very prolific photographer Unknown.) Unless there were very few dull views made during those years in New Zealand, William Main has done an excellent job of locating and editing a selection of truly interesting images. The scenic views are dramatic, the street scenes full of interesting people, and the work and recreation views reveal enough about the people and the times to arouse one's interest in digging deep- er into the history of that country and the lives of its people. The stereo impact of a view in a sheep shearing shed by J.B. Gilmour is ef- fective enough to also convey a hint of the heat and odor of the scene. An unknown stereographer cap- tured views of Prime Minister Sir Joseph Ward on a Wanganui river boat excursion-one of he and friends on a deck and one of the boat nosed into a river bank landing.

Stereo Camera American Classic Well, I did it. I found, and bought, an American-made camera. Wasn't easy, mind you. But with stories of the Japanese trade surplus with the U.S. filling the paper, American corporations going Orien- tal right and left, and patriotism re- born in the U.S.A., I felt it my duty as a red-blooded American boy to support star-spangled American God-Fearing industry. So, stick this in your trade surplus Japan, I beat you this time! Of course, there were problems. For one, there really aren't any cameras made in the U.S. that are worth bothering with by the serious photographer, or even the disin- terested amateur.

20 STEREO WORLD July/Au~u~t1987 ILLUSTRATING THE HISTORY OF BRASS BANDS-IN DEPTH

by John Dennis

It was their extensive research for this book, and their discovery of so many stereographs of brass bands, which enabled Margaret and Robert Hazen to write the article "American Brass Bands in Stereographs" for the May/June '87 issue of Stereo World. Those who found the article interesting should find the book a real treasure. The origins, instruments, organization, music, dress, and au- diences of every size and type of brass band from military to professional to amateur are covered in well researched and illustrated detail. In the years before recorded or broadcast music, bands seemed to spring up everywhere for reasons ranging from community pride to commercial promotion to patriotism to basic celebration and entertain- ment. Towns barely big enough to support a church would often have a small but determined band-and so would factories, mines, railroads, The Music Men: An Illustrated History of Brass Bands in America, 1800-1920 by Margaret schools, prisons, hospitals, lodges, Hindle Hazen and Robert Hazen, 1987, Smithsonian Institution Press, $39.95 cloth, $19.95 unions, and ethnic groups.
