RARE vintage Artist's GRAPHOSCOPE complete with box and instructions.
Hi and welcome to my listing for this RARE vintage Student Artist's folding/portable Graphoscope. This piece takes the basic design of the older Victorian Graphoscopes/Stereoviewers and adapts it in order to teach student artists how to accurately copy an image.
The item is robustly constructed in metal and is designed to un-fold. Te image you wish to copy is hung from the viewing arm and then you sign a light ...through the back of the magnifying glass/mirror as you look through the aperture this will cast an image on the base of the machine where you have placed your sketch pad and you can trace out the imagine - the machine comes with its original instruction booklet and some pre-drawn images.
The base measures approx 8 inches X 6 inches the arms raising up about 7 inches. The set, i would say, dates back to the 1940's/50's. It is in very good original condition - the box has internal taping on the lid but is still solid and thee graphics and colours are still vibrant.
A quirky and interesting design that probably never caught on but never-the-less a very interesting piece and hopefully useful to an Art Student or collector.
ANY QUESTIONS DON'T HESITATE TO ASK
