about
SoloVision started out as an online photo gallery devoted to Robert Vaughn and the 60s TV show The Man from U.N.C.L.E., but has now expanded to include the odd article about 60s UNCLE-mania, guest stars and, yes, even David McCallum.

AGENT » photos featuring Robert Vaughn as U.N.C.L.E. agent Napoleon Solo. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish Vaughn publicity photos from shots of Vaughn as Solo, so please check RV publicity if you're looking for Solo-ish photos. Any photo featuring Vaughn as Solo and David McCallum as Illya Kuryakin is placed in Solo + Illya, irrespective of who else is in the photo. Photos of Solo with Mr. Waverly (played by Leo G. Carroll) will appear in either Solo + other OR Solo + Illya, depending on whether McCallum is also present. Solo art + craft features official MfU art and merchandise.
ACTOR » all other photos of Robert Vaughn. This includes other film, television and dramatic roles as well as publicity photos from magazines. RV publicity is the biggest subcategory, and the largest section of the entire site - if I'm not sure if a photo is associated with a film or TV role, I place it here.
U.N.C.L.E. + » photos of other characters that appeared in the U.N.C.L.E. series, including other U.N.C.L.E. agents (Mr. Waverly, Illya, April and Mark), the innocents, PLUS Thrush agents and other villains. There are NO Vaughn photos in this section.
WALLPAPERS + » a small selection of wallpapers, avatars/icons and cursors available for your own personal use.
SV YOUTUBE » YouTube portal featuring short film clips of Vaughn movie trailers and interviews. Check out the Favorites section for more Vaughn-related material.
READ! DROP-DOWN MENU » a menu to all the articles/interviews on the site organised by publication date. In general, photos published with articles are only posted with the article, and do not appear elsewhere in the gallery. So if you're on the lookout for a particular shot, make sure to check this menu too.
UNCLE STYLE screencap list » ishisan's UNCLE Style features an excellent selection of screencaps from the U.N.C.L.E. episodes and films. To help English-speaking fans, I've linked to the screencaps available according to episode.
UNCLEeps@GUBA » a link list to the MfU and GfU episodes available for viewing/download at GUBA. I'll do my best to update this as more episodes become available.

SoloVision owes its existence to the kindness of many fans. They make screencaps and scan photos and type out articles. Without their efforts, this site would not exist. If you have Vaughn-related material (past or present) you'd like to share or find anything on the site that needs correcting, please send me an email.
You can never have too much of a good thing!
Thanks to the following fans:

This jaw-dropping RV close-up was taken from a wall and scanned for this site.

- Tsukichan for unearthing NS and IK in a rowboat shot and scanning the photo-riffic Topps Magazine 1965 RV article and the hilarious Sean Connery vs Robert Vaughn Photoplay 1966 article. She has also contributed dozens of obscure publicity photos from fan scrapbooks she bought on Ebay.
