- Description
- Wooden hand-held stereoscope with a long base along which the card frame can slide, goggle-shaped lens housing that blocks out light around the sides, two square lenses angled slightly towards the center, a central blocker, and a pointed fold-down handle. The card frame is a separate piece that slides on and off the end of the long base and features two wire holders that fold out to fit the card. Also includes a stack of manufactured stereoscope cards that mostly feature scenes from Palestine and the United States that have spots of colour tinting, possibly hand-applied. Everything is housed in a cardboard shoe box with a white “COES & STODDER” sticker on one short side. Written on one short side of the lid is “STEREOPTICAN” in black ink and taped to the lid is a piece of paper that reads “Return to Catharine Whyte after photograph display” signed and dated by Maryalice Stewart 14 February 1979.
