This is an antique stereoscope viewer and a set of accompanying stereoscopic view cards with a wood storage box.
A stereoscope is an optical instrument that provides a three-dimensional effect to two nearly identical side-by-side photographs. They were a popular and affordable form of home entertainment between the 1850s and 1930s, allowing people to view scenes from around the world in 3D. The cards, also known as stereoview slides, inserted into the viewer and the distance adjusted until the two images merged into a single 3D image. Typical scenes included landscapes, famous people, architectural wonders, and everyday life.
This is an antique with signs of wear like discoloration due to use and age.
