These stereopticon scenes of life in hell were made in plaster or modelling clay and measure about 15cm in height. “This is the work of my whole life. It is thus that I dreamed of Hell. If my vision were so, the malicious should feel easy; eternity will be quite soft for them,” attested the genre’s innovator. Its success was considerable. Reprints followed one after another over the two decades 1860 and 1880.

Found here, after having seen it in a Greek novel’s cover design.
