Stereoscope ‘L’Iris Stéréoscope à Manche’ with Image Set
Details
L’Iris stéréoscope à manche is a finely decorated lorgnette-style stereoscope. The viewer was distributed by Gustave Jacob, who also marketed Lucien Bize’s stereoscopes. Manufacture by Bize therefore cannot be ruled out, since L’Omnium dates from the same period and Bize initially specialised in the production of metal viewers.
One known example of L’Iris stéréoscope à manche bears the initials of the publisher G. P.
