Stereoscopic Camera
Wood framed folding stereoscopic camera by J.T. Chapman, c.1880. This camera was popular for amateur use. It was constructed on the principles of Brewster and Dancer. The use of the 3" focus 'Platystigmat' wide angle lenses made the camera less bulky and could also aid the construction of a camera at a cheap price. With extra lens panel and lens it could be used as a half-plate camera.
