The goal of this page is to offer a Bibliotheque of all known Stereo-Diableries. The most complete list (compiled by Denis Pellerin) I have ever seen mention 139 different Diableries, most likely part of several series since some of them are related to others or simply other versions of the same subject.

Diableries are wonderfull examples of the fascination for death in 19th. Century photography and made with a lot of imagination and humour. Death in photography is seen in many different ways but here we see the subject in a less serious interpretation. In another page we will see stereo-ghost images but both, these devils & ghosts images, are in no way related to the respectfull 19th. Century Post-Mortem photographs, subject of another page on this website.

The most popular Diableries are the “tissue” versions since they are made to view with transmitted light from behind, revealing the most wonderfull coulors and light effect similar as seen in a Vue d’Optique viewed by back-light in a peepshow box.
