"Le Taxiphote" Stereoscopic Viewer - Jules Richard

Details

This elegant "Le Taxiphote" is a tabletop stereoscopic viewer crafted from walnut wood, designed for the automatic viewing of stereoscopic glass slides. The device stands out for its ingenious internal "automatic distributor" mechanism, which allows the user to change views using a side lever without handling the plates manually. It features an original front plate with operating instructions in French and an original bakelite side dial to select the desired image (from 1 to 25). The base of the cabinet serves as storage for the wooden cases containing the slide collections. It is a collector's piece that combines mechanical sophistication with Belle Époque aesthetics, ideal for antique photography enthusiasts and technical decor.
