An Englishman (Brian May), a Frenchman (Denis Pellerin) and an American (Paula Fleming) were united by a rare passion for collecting Diableries (‘Devilments’): ghoulish stereo cards originally produced in France in the 1860s. In their quest to resolve the many mysteries of the bizarre imagery, they have collaborated on a new book featuring the Diableries, and today present these extraordinary visions on the big screen.
Diableries: Stereoscopic Adventures in Hell, by Brian May, Denis Pellerin and Paula Fleming is published in hardback by The London Stereoscopic Company in October.
