Illustration/Vintage Photographs: Diableries

So you thought Viewmaster was first? Well, think again!






"Diableries are wonderful examples of the fascination for death in 19th Century photography and made with a lot of imagination and humor. Death in photography is seen in many different ways but here we see the subject in a less serious interpretation."

Ingmar Bergman: Demonology

Demonology. There has over the years been a lot of talk about demons in connexion with Bergman. In early days it was mostly because of his great demands on actors and other personnel that he was named a "Demon director". Later on it was his own demons - his fears - that he showed on the screen and sometimes talked about.

The little drawn devil that Bergman used to "brand" documents with.
