Well actually I wasn't comparing apples and oranges, the 50's 3d 
craze did not consist only of 3d stereo photography but also 3d
movies and this is what I was referring to when I was writing my
thoughts down. I should have been more explicit in that respect.
Regarding why 3d photography died also, I think it just got sucked
down with all the other 3d stuff such as 3d movies, 3d comics and
whatever else there was at the time. Gregory in his recent post
brings up some other good points on why 3d photography died as
well as you, in your reply to his post. The reasons given have
been stated before here in P3D.

Gabriel, presently typing this upside down. ;-)

P.S. If you don't have any prisms to try walking upside down,
you can try it with a single mirror roughly larger than 6 
inches on each side or two smaller ones. Hold the mirror up 
toward the cieling and look down in the mirror. The effect is
better with the prisms since you don't see your own refection
in it but you will get a good feel of how it feels with the 
mirrors nonetheless.
