Scope and content
This item is a handheld stereoscope with binocular lenses made from cardboard. The body of the stereoscope is able to extend. This object was used to view two nearly identical photographs, or stereographs, as one three dimensional image. The stereograph would first be placed in the sliding card holder. Once viewed through the viewer the two images would merge together to mimic a three-dimensional photograph. Object comes with one glass plate stereograph of a elaborately designed baroque room.
