Civil War photo expert Bob Zeller will present a special 3-D Digital Stereoscopic Slide Lecture at the Iredell County Public Library in Statesville on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, at 7 pm. Audience members will be given 3-D glasses to the view some of the most famous photographs of the Civil War as they are projected in their original stereoscopic format. Many of the reproductions are ultra high-resolution scans made directly from original 150-year-old glass plate negatives. You will see these images jump off the screen as Mr. Zeller shows them in chronological order giving their historical background as they provide a photo history of the Civil War from beginning to end.
