Item is a stereoscope set that comes with a black case, wooden handheld Holmes style stereoscope, and 66 silver gelatin print stereograph cards depicting various landscapes, portraits, cultures and landmarks. This object was used for education and entertainment.

This object was used to view two nearly identical photographs, or stereographs, as one three dimensional image. The stereograph would be placed in the sliding card holder and adjusted to fit the user's vision until the two images overlap to mimic a three-dimensional effect. Object also comes with a hand written note by previous owner explaining the provenance of the item. Box contains dividers to house stereographs and is lined with a grey velvet. The stereoscope has a aluminium hood engraved with a floral design on the top. Velvet lines the edges of the viewer’s hood and the handle is able to fall back onto the viewer.
