A Village Preserved, Green and All: Brian May's Photographic Recovery By RANDY KENNEDY The name T. R. Williams does not ring many bells in photohistorical circles today. But in Victorian London he was a kind of rock star, whose instruments were marvels of scientific novelty — the stereoscopic camera and viewer, developed in the 1850s, were the earliest forerunners of the View-Master and the current 3-D movie craze. His fame as a stereo portraitist reached such heights that the Queen herself requested his services, to photograph her daughter, Princess Victoria, on her 16th birthday and on the occasion of her wedding. But by the early 20th century, after movies brought an end to the form's wild popularity, the work of stereo photographers like Williams often wound up in the dusty remainder bins of photo shops and auction houses. Which is where an actual rock star affiliated with a different sort of Queen — Brian May, the woolly-haired lead guitarist for the beloved glam-band — was perpetually on the prowl for them for years, between gigs, in many of the cities where the band was packing stadiums. Depending on where we were, I always knew the dealers and collectors to go see," recalled Mr. May, who has been obsessed with stereo pictures for most of his life. And it was nice because I was interacting in a world that was completely divorced from the rock world. None of these guys thought of me as anything other than an enthusiast, unless one of their kids would see me and say, ‘Do you know who that is? He's in Queen!' " Now, after more than four decades of collecting, Mr. May's passion has resulted in an ambitious door-stopper of a historical study examining Williams's life and work, A Village Lost and Found" (Frances Lincoln). To promote the book, which Mr. May wrote with a photography historian and conservator, Elena Vidal, he has embarked on a tour considerably more sedate than the ones he used to know. Last week, one of its stops was Huron, Ohio (pop. 7,348), where he and Ms. Vidal were guest speakers at the 36th annual convention of the National Stereoscopic Association, a group of ardent hobbyists and collectors. On Thursday the tour came to New York City, where Mr. May spoke before a modest but appreciative crowd at the Barnes & Noble branch in TriBeCa. (Only one Queen T-shirt was in evidence but an exuberant fan did bring his red electric guitar to try to get Mr. May to sign it.) On Friday Mr. May was to play undoubtedly the tour's most august venue, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, discussing A Village Lost and Found" with Ms. Vidal as part of the museum's lecture series. In an interview at the Waldorf Astoria, where he was staying, Mr. May said that the book had been a dream of his almost since he came across his first Williams stereo-photo card — a pastel-colored rural reverie — as a college student in London and wondered What in the world can this be?" While Williams had a thriving business producing portraits and views of notable events of the day, he seemed to have spent years working on a project much more personal in nature, a series called Scenes in Our Village," that chronicled daily life in a tiny countryside town. The pictures in that series — with titles like Old Dancy Enjoying His Pipe," Little Polly Gone Fast Asleep" and Loading the Dung Cart," and with sentimental poems, probably written by Williams himself, printed on the backs of the cards — were an attempt to capture a vision of English rural life that was already disappearing in the 1850s, as the Industrial Revolution gathered speed. The nostalgia for this kin, "The work is the result of over 30 years of research, including the detective story aspect of discovering in 2003 the actual village that Williams photographed. Details about rural Victorian society, photographic equipment of the 1850s and the life of the enigmatic Williams himself promise to make this a major contribution to studies of the early history of stereography."Stereo World, "The work is the result of over 30 years of research, including the detective story aspect of discovering in 2003 the actual village that Williams photographed. Details about rural Victorian society, photographic equipment of the 1850s and the life of the enigmatic Williams himself promise to make this a major contribution to studies of the early history of stereography." -- Stereo World, "The awesome thoroughness of this book is worthy of a PhD thesis...a triumph of scholarship and credit to all concerned." --The Royal Photographic Society, "While he is still involved in making music and has hinted that he and Queen's drummer, Roger Taylor, might reunite to play together again, he seems perfectly contented these days taking the stage behind a lectern, with a pair of reading glasses perched on his nose. Surveying the quietly admiring bookstore crowd in TriBeCa on Thursday night, he cleared his throat and deadpanned: "This isn't exactly Madison Square Garden, but I think it will do." -- The New York Times, T. R. Williams seems to have created "Our Village" as a labor of love, recording the scenes of his childhood summers and documenting a place and way of life that was already vanishing through the effects of the industrial revolution. His extraordinary dedication to the project and his quest for perfection in stereographic imagery are both honored and mirrored in the years of research, photographic explorations and thoughtful presentation that have made possible this book, 'A Village Lost and Found' - clearly another labor of love.
