Mirascope

Region: France    Period: 1890–1930   

The Mirascope stéréo-classeur is a tray-based stereoscope that uses two slide trays. The stereoviews are transported from a slide tray in the lower compartment of the viewer to the viewing position. They are then transferred further to a slide tray placed in the upper compartment of the viewer. The Mirascope was likely not successful, and the viewer was only advertised in 1907.
