Stereoscope ‘Mignoscope’, International Exhibition Barcelona 1929

Details

The Migno­scope was dis­trib­uted by Mat­tey under the Unis France label, but is not list­ed in the company’s cat­a­logues. The view­er is a vari­ant of the Alter­nascope and essen­tial­ly con­sists of the Alternascope’s lens pan­el with­out the wood­en stand.
The view­er was designed to accom­mo­date wide 3 x 13 cm glass slides on which two stereo pairs are print­ed side by side.
