      History

      British photographer and Quaker, born into a family of grocers in Leeds, England, in March 1873. After his father died and his brother took over the grocery business, Dearden Holmes appears to have moved to London. From c.1924 to 1927, he undertook a world photographic tour, photographing with a stereoscopic camera. Sunbeam Tours published Dearden Holmes' stereoscopic photographs. Photographs were also issued free inside packets of cigarettes, such as the Army Club Cigarettes series "Peeps Into Many Lands". A pair of these cards could be viewed with a Camerscope, which gave depth to the flat photographs so that they appeared three-dimensional. James Dearden Holmes died in Shanklin, Isle of Wight, England, on 24 June 1937.
