'Robert Moffatt Ormiston East Lothian Scotland December 21 1795-Leigh Kent England August 8 1883 was a missionary and a linguist who worked in South Africa and Botswana for more than 60 years. Of modest parentage he had an elementary education and was raised as a Presbyterian on strict religious principles by his mother a Scotswoman née Anne Gardiner. He first worked as a gardener in Scotland and England. Influenced by Methodism he determined to become a missionary and in 1816 joined the London Missionary Society LMS. He had already met and become engaged to Mary Smith who came from Lancashire near Manchester. He was sent out to South Africa where he arrived in Cape Town on January 13 1817. His fiancée however due to her father’s objections did not join him for another three years. He was to begin his service in Great Namaqualand south of the Orange River but at first was refused permission to travel there by the local authorities. Therefore he began instead to study Dutch at Stellenbosch University until January 1818 when he began work in Great Namaqualand. He had an early success in the conversion of local ruler Jager Christian Afrikaner circa 1800-1823 a Hottentot freebooter this while traveling in South West Africa now Namibia and Bechuanaland now Botswana. In April 1819 in Cape Town he met with an LMS deputation investigating LMS work in Southern Africa. They invited him to act as their interpreter in Dutch. He traveled with them until the Fifth Frontier War of 1819 forced them to stop. At the same time his fiancée arrived from England and they were married in Cape Town in December 1819. She was to prove a strong loyal and dedicated companion. The delegation persuaded him to work amongst the Tswana Bechuana and he settled at first at Dithakong in 1821 among the Tlhaping a Tswana people. Unrest swept this region as a result of the wars of the Zulu Chief Shaka but invaders were driven off by armed Griquas led by Andries Waterboer. Unsettled conditions continued until 1829. At that time Moffatt baptized his first converts. In this same year he established what was to prove a lifelong friendship with Mzilikazi chief of the Matabele. Having moved to Kuruman he began to translate the Bible into the Tlhaping dialect. He took the manuscript to Cape Town where with his own hands he prepared it for printing on the government press. He then acquired a printing press which he took to Kuruman by ox-wagon where he produced more religious literature. He had however to travel to Britain to have his translation of the New Testament published in 1840. While in London in 1841 he met with David Livingstone whom he persuaded to travel to Africa. It was from Kuruman that Livingstone began his African travels in 1849. Meanwhile back in Kuruman he continued to translate and print the Old Testament. The result was the first translation of the Bible into any South African language. In 1857 he led a mission to meet with Mzilikazi in Matabeleland. Suspicious of his influence Afrikaner burghers prepared to attack Kuruman. A request to the British govemor at the Cape Sir George Grey led to a successful appeal to Pretorius not to make the attack. Moffatt then remained at Kuruman working on a translation of Pilgrim’s Progress. In 1870 Moffatt and his wife retired to England where she died at Brixton in 1871. He died in 1883. His son John Smith Moffatt continued his work in Botswana and his daughter Mary married David Livingstone. Kuruman had been the northernmost European outpost in southern Africa and played a key role in the establishment of relations with the more northerly peoples. Although involved with diplomatic relations Moffatt’s work was essentially evangelical in character.' Keith Irvine Dictionary of African Christian Biography   unknown

189569607Germany: Verlag von Leopold Voss 1895. STEREOSCOPIC CARDS. Stereoscopical Pictures for the use of squint-eyed people. A Set of 26 Stereoscopic Cards with a Collapsible Stereoscope Viewer. Germany: Verlag von Leopold Voss n.d.c.a. 1895.<br> <br> Early edition possibly 3rd revised edition. A set of 26 lovely chromolithograph stereoscopic cards including one which allows for two sides to be slid back and forth. Accompanied by a collapsible Stereoscope with which to view the cards. This was used in the diagnosis and theraputic care of children with optical difficulties. 7 1/4 x 3 3/4 inches; 190 x 95 mm. Each card is numbered 1-26. The cards are housed in a small faux leather box. Box with the stamp of "August. F. W. Vogt of Amsterdam." The stereoscope is in matching faux leather and is able to fold flat. A very nice attractive set with cute color pictures mainly of animals and children. A few cards with letters that create the names Elise Africa and Rafael. Previous owner's inscription on inside on the box. Some minor rubbing to edges of the box and the stereoscope. Overall very good.<br> <br> This set though without any printed labels or the instructional leaflet matches other copies of Kroll's and can be identified as possible the third revised edition as this was the first edition to include a sliding card according to a listing in 1896's "Zeitschrift für Psychologie und Physiologie der Sinnesorgane 10." Journal of Psychology and Physiology of the Sense Organs 10 Published by Arthur Konig. According to Konig<br> <br> "The reappearance of a new edition of these stereoscopic images attests to the wide circulation they have achieved. They are designed for use by children with intermittent strabismus who are intended- through exercises performed with the aid of these plates-to gradually and permanently correct the faulty alignment of their eyes. In preparing this new edition the guiding principle was in essence to stimulate the impulse toward the stereoscopic fusion of the image halves more strongly than in previous editions. Serving this purpose are 12 new plates which contain- partly- images featuring congruent main figures alongside incongruent secondary figures and- partly- text-based exercises designed according to the same fundamental principle. A newly added image allows for the adjustment of the distance between its two halves.<br> <br> "A stereoscope or stereo viewer is a device used for viewing a pair of stereoscopic separate images mounted on a stereograph card. These images depict a left-eye and right-eye view of the same scene hosted on a card that when viewed through a stereoscope appear as a single three-dimensional image. This apparatus consisted of two prismatic lenses and a wooden extension which held the stereo card at the correct distance from the viewer. The lenses made the image appear larger and more distant as well as shifting their position so that the two images fuse into one stereo window. A view-limiting feature such as a divider is usually present on stereoscopes to prevent each eye by being distracted by the image intended for the other eye. Sir David Brewster debuted his lenticular stereoscope at the Great Exhibition of 1851 in England. Brewster is credited as the inventor of the stereoscope and stereographs intended for use by the general public. Oliver Wendell Holmes made further contributions to the stereoscope by introducing a handheld stereoscopic viewer in 1861 that was both streamlined and more economical than what had previously been available. The hype over this novel form of entertainment led to an industry in producing images for public consumption. Stereographs stereoviews stereo cards and stereo pairs were produced and sold by the thousands. They usually included the pair of images on piece of cardstock of cardboard along with some explanatory text. Stereographers traveled the world to capture images that would appear in 3D back home on the Victorian parlor. Subjects included famous people and places historic events dramatic recreations beautiful settings and flower arrangements among other things. By the last quarter of the nineteenth century viewing stereographs was a popular form of entertainment in Victorian homes. Almost as common as a television set is today each American home typically had a collection of stereographs and a hand-held or table-stand stereoscope through which to view them."
