Located in Centennial, CO
This stunning and highly unusual folding stereoscope viewer was crafted out of rosewood and brass in the Victorian style of the late 1800s. The plaque attached to the eyepiece is inscribed, "G. Meyer Gallery of Fine Arts, 1100 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia". This gallery was known for publishing photos of the 1876 International Exposition in Philadelphia, as well as photographs of Philadelphia. Presumably this stereoscope was used in the Philadelphia Art Gallery at 1100 Chestnut Street for viewing stereoscope cards...
