With trolley that can hold 25 stereoscopic plates of 17.5x9cm format. We reach with 5 stereo cards. Relief photography is as old as "flat" photography (photography as it is prevalent today). The invention of the relief image even predates that of photography, since in 1838, wheatstone, a member of the royal society of london, invented a mirror device reproducing the relief (as a reminder, the official date of the invention of photography is 1839). Moreover, the principle of obtaining an image in relief had already been laid down in antiquity by euclid and taken up by leonardo da vinci in 1484. Very nice condition. Functional.
