Vérascope camera

The Vérascope was a stereo camera introduced by Jules Richard in 1893. The camera was designed for the small 45 x 107 stereo format, which was also introduced by Richard. This format allowed the camera to remain compact and made stereo photography more accessible to a new group of photographers.

The first Vérascope cameras could also function as a stereoscope, but this concept was soon abandoned. The Vérascope became a major commercial success and developed into a strong brand. Several models of the Vérascope for the glass format were introduced until 1931. The last model was the Vérascope f40 for 35 mm roll film, which was produced until the 1950s.
