AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Enlargement cone for the Vérascope from the J. Richard house, Paris, dating from the early 20th century. It is an original accessory intended for viewing and enlarging stereoscopic images. Made of wood, brass and glass, it retains its original plate bearing the inscription “J. Richard, 10 Rue Halévy (near the Opéra), Paris”, as well as the number 3570 engraved on the metal frame.

The set is in good condition considering its age. It retains its main original elements, including its lens, its removable rear panel, and its various metal parts. The lens is present and the whole presents a very nice display. Only normal signs of wear related to age are observed, along with a small stable crack on the upper wooden part, with no impact on the solidity or on the operation of the device.

This accessory was used with Vérascope systems for observing and enlarging stereoscopic photographs. Today, it is a sought-after piece for collectors of antique photography and French optical instruments.
