Object Details

Stereoscope ‘Planox’, Long Focus, with Original Storage Box

Details

The Plocq firm man­u­fac­tured a range of Planox brand­ed hand-held stere­o­scopes pri­mar­i­ly intend­ed for glass stere­oviews. The ear­ly basic mod­el was lat­er fol­lowed by a ver­sion that is almost iden­ti­cal to Mattey’s Stéréo­scope Stan­dard. This sug­gests that some form of col­lab­o­ra­tion may have exist­ed between Plocq and Mattey.
