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.
