The enormous interest that justifiably awakens the figure of Jean Laurent and his photographic work, not only among photohistorians but also in those who are interested in the many facets of cultural life of the nineteenth century in Spain, even in the general public, corresponds in reality to the large number of studies that he has been the subject of over the past twenty years. However, there was still one aspect of his professional work pending study in depth: stereoscopic photography. A format in which he made a very important part of his production, about twenty percent of all his work, which in the huge amount of images produced by the Laurent Company represents approximately
one thousand four hundred images, the largest collection of stereoscopic photographs made in the nineteenth century in Spain.
