Patent OWL Stereoscope Viewer | Designed by Brian May

I was, admittedly, pretty tickled to discover that Sir Brian May of Queen had fallen in love with the science and imagery of stereoscopic photography of the mid 19th century. His launch of his fledgling company, design of this viewer, re-release of stereo cards, and associated reading materials, was a fabulous breath of vintage air for both a history *and* photography zealot like your humble shop keep.

I was equally excited to build a relationship with his org and bring these viewers stateside for our own immersion in this great era of 3D photography.

Description from London Stereoscopic Company ::::::

The patented OWL, designed by Brian May, is a unique, high quality, stereo focusing viewer, which packs into a space only 6mm thick, yet assembles in 15 seconds into a rigid precision instrument which is equally at home sitting on a page to view stereo illustrations in a book, or used in the hand as the perfect viewer for stereo cards - classic or modern.

It comes packaged with complete instructions in a beautifully designed card wallet.
