Chain-Stereoscope, Sweetheart, Victorian

Chain-Stereoscope, Sweetheart, Victorian (ST110)

Details

A sweet­heart stere­o­scope is designed for inti­mate or shared view­ing by two peo­ple at the same time. The device typ­i­cal­ly has two pairs of eye­pieces arranged so that two view­ers can look into the same stere­o­scope simul­ta­ne­ous­ly, each see­ing a dif­fer­ent stere­oview. The most com­mon sweet­heart view­ers are chain-based stereoscopes.
