The cover uses the photo of George Eastman from the 1964 edition of Beaumont Newhall's 'History of Photography'; the text that photographers of my generation grew up on.' (Karl Baden, May 16, 2007)

"About 50 contact sheet self-portraits were made over a three-month period in 1980. For each, a roll of 35 exposures was taken of various parts of my body, usually in close-up. The roll was processed normally and printed, without alteration or manipulation, as a contact sheet.
 
This work was originally supposed to be enlarged, but, due to one thing or another, it took more than a decade before even a few of them were printed approximately 64x42 inches." (Kard Baden, May 16, 2007)

Heinrich Vogl (1845-1900), German tenor
 
Heinrich Vogl was originally a teacher in Ebersberg who turned his interests to music. He studied with Debuettierte at the Munich Opera. Vogl was a tenor whose operatic stage career began in 1865 and continued until shortly before his death. His notable roles included "Loge" in Wagner's "The Ring of Nibelungen" performed in Bayreuth and Munich, "Tristan," and "Siegmund" in "Die Walkure." He was married to opera singer, Therese Vogl.

Lina Cavalieri, singer

Cabinet card
Private collection of T. Max Hochstetler
Lina Cavalieri was born 1874 at Viterbo, Italy. Orphaned at age fifteen, she ran away from a convent orphanage and joined a touring theatrical troupe, making her way to Vienna and Paris. Her beauty at age twenty attracted many wealthy suitors. She studied with the top Italian singers and made her debut in Lisbon in 1900. Cavalieri was renowned as much for her beauty and fiery temperament as for her light, pleasant, but less than first-class voice. She was described as "the greatest beauty in the world," and she may well have been the most photographed woman of the 19th century. She posed for many of the best known photographers of Europe. Her postcards produced by Charles Reutlinger out-number all beauties in history. Cavalieri vowed she had received no less than 840 marriage proposals, but she only accepted four. After retiring from the stage she managed cosmetic salons in Paris and published "My Secrets of Beauty" in 1914. She was known for her generosity towards orphans and entertained the French troops during WWI. She became a nurse durining WWI. Lina Cavalieri died in an Allied air raid just outside Florence, Italy in 1944.

This very rare case was patented in Philadelphia just a few years after Mascher's. The ornately decorated cover with eyepieces lifts up by folding brass supports. There is a 1/4 plate with side-by-side 1/9 plate images in a + plate size brass mat with oval windows.
 
The stereoscopic image is of a very old gentleman, born before the Revolution. The top knob of his cane extends out.
 
The gilded eagle design and lettering on the dark green leather cover are somewhat soiled from use. The same design on the back is cleaner. (Larry Gottheim)
