AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful and authentic wooden hand magnifier—a reflectoscope dating from the early 20th century.
This classic optical instrument offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of (3D) photography.
The reflectoscope is made of warm, atmospheric wood and features an original glass concave mirror set in a round wooden frame.
By placing an image (photo, postcard, etc.) into one of the slots in the wooden block that sits in front of the mirror on a kind of rail, the concave mirror magnifies the chosen image, also creating a stronger depth effect and a kind of stereoscopic effect.
By moving the block toward or away from the mirror you can determine the sharpness of the enlarged image yourself.
Thanks to the fold-out wooden handle on the bottom, the instrument sits comfortably in the hand while looking.
A beautiful collectible for lovers of antique photography.
Included are 2 stereo photos:
1. The Wife’s Dream (Series 3 – no. 1744), colored
2. Eglise de Bigorre – Pyrenees
Dimensions:
Length 25 cm, width 16 cm, handle 12 cm, mirror diameter 15 cm, folded 5.5 cm
In good authentic vintage condition with normal signs of aging and wear.
The photos are part of the description.
No shipping outside the EU.
