Dr. Emil Holub was a Czech traveler who traveled to Africa in 1883. The expedition, which had 8 members + a native escort, set out from South Africa on 4 wagons pulled by oxen into the interior. The expedition had many difficulties, the whole expedition fell ill with malaria, while 2 members of the expedition died. As they progressed north, they entered the territory of hostile natives, one member of the expedition was killed and his head ended up as a trophy which was the end of the expedition, which returned back to S. Africa.
Dr. Holub returned home in 1887 after 4 years of traveling in Africa. He brought 130 boxes of natural history and ethnographic collections, which he exhibited in Vienna and Prague. The collections eventually ended up in the Museum of Dr. Emil Holub in his native Holice, which can still be visited today.

This spatial image captures Holub's journey at the beginning, when his expedition was still complete. I followed the same procedure as for the previous pictures - I made a cardboard box, sprayed it and put it on a classic photo frame. I used sprinkles on the bottom of the box so that the figures are not just stuck on a black background. On the back, I pasted the text from Mr. Kubel, which came out with the 3D image. This is the first picture by P.Kubel and certainly not the last. A few photos:

When you look at these in person, they look so excelent! Much better than a flat painting equivalent. ;)
