Stereoscope ‘Clairvoyant’ ind Original ‘Stereoscopic Treasury’ Storage Box
Details
The Clairvoyant has a distinctive appearance. Between the two lenses is a ribbed glass panel serving as an alternative to a septum. The distance between the lens panel and the stereoview holder can be adjusted for focusing.
The viewer was available in a deluxe storage box with additional space for stereoviews. These boxes were marked The Stereoscopic Treasury. The Clairvoyant was also distributed in a simpler leather case.
