Description from the seller

As a careful collector, I am selling a stereo camera, 13x18 format, with horizontal and vertical shift, by W. Watson & Sons, Manufacturers, London, built circa 1890. In Spanish mahogany, with dovetail joints and solid brass. Black leather bellows with square corners, in like-new condition. Meagher-type support. The lenses are Taylor & Hobson, made circa 1886 (this company, specialized in optics since its founding, supplied many cameras for other manufacturers, and still exists) as well as two other lenses with rotating diaphragms (Darlot type). In perfect condition.
