S tereoscopic Photography
With the Jules Richard Verascope
Jules Richard, inaentor of the Verascope
Nature as seen by the eye has three dimensions-length, breadth and
depth. Therefore an ordinary photographic print, however perfect from
a technical point of view, must fall short of the ideal, as it reduces
nature to two dimensions and eliminates the element of distance.
Stereoscopic photography was introduced to overcome this short-
coming. Its aim was to provide the photographer with the means of
reproducing nature faithfully in its three dimensions. It restored the
element of distance, and preserved natural perspective. and relief.
Yet stereoscopic photography failed to win universal popularity. On
the contrary, in its early days, it earned for itself- an unenviable
reputation, and was regarded with disfavor amounting almost to
prejudice by large numbers of photographers.
We can irnagine some readers, when they discover that this article
deals with stereoscopic work, being tempted to put it aside with a sense
of disappointment. We ask, however, that they will read on, preserving
an open mind. What we have to say on the surbject will, we feel sure,
prove interesting, and we hope to point the way to new sources of
pleasure in photography, to discover fbr the reader added and more
permanent interest in his hobby.
The reason for the unpopularity of stereoscopic work was well
founded. The apparatus required was bulky, intricate and delicate.
The technical processes were both difficult and tedious. Success de-
manded patience, leisure and application. The practice of stereoscopic
photography was, therefore, confined to a minority of painstaking en-
thusiasts to whom time and trouble were but secondarv considerations.
www.orphancameras.comView original page 5Page 6 · Read text
ln spite of these disadvantages, stereoscopic photography did not die.
lt coniinued to live for one all-sufficient reason, the results obtained by
its devotees were nearer to nature than ordinary photographic prints.
Putting aside the difficulties, there was no gainsaying the fact that
stereoscopic pictures were more natural, more living, than prints on a
flat surfa-ce. Subjects devoid of any particular interest from a purely
photographic point of view, became intensely interesting when the-elements-of atmosphere and distance were faithfully reproduced in the
stereoscope. A new interest, capable of infinite variation, was given to
photography.-experi?nied- Most important of all, perhaps, the mental imPression when a given subject was seen, was recalled much more
faithfully and completely when reproduced stereoscopically, than was
possible by ordinary photographic reproduction.
In short, the aim of stereoscopic photography was sound. What was
required was simplification, some method of procedure _that wouldmake stereoscopic work as simple as ordinary snapshot photography.
The apparatus must be simple and reliable. The technical processes
must be devoid of all complication. Certain success must be brought
within the reach even of the beginner. All the advantages of stereo-
scopic photography must be retained, all the disadvantages eliminated.
With commendable enterprise the task was undertaken by Jules
Richard, of the famous firm of photographic and scientific instrument
manufacturers. After long and painstaking research and experiment
he succeeded in producing a type of camera, perfectly sinrple in con-
struction and manipulation, absolutely reliable in action, and, more-
over, eminently efficient for stereoscopic photography, and at the
same time for general photographic work.
This last point is important. It cannot be too strongly emphasized
that the advantages of simplified stereoscopic photography have been
gained without any sacrifice in efficiency from the point of view of
ordinary photographic work.
The results of all his experiments and research are embodied in the
wonderful littie camera called
The Verascope
We give a detailed technical description of The Verascope in succeed-
ing pages. It is only necessary to state here that the Verascope is a
tiny little camera sufficiently light and portable to be carried just as
conveniently as a pair of ordinary binoculars. It is so simple that it
can be used by the beginner with complete success. It is a model of
efficiency and convenience for both ordinary and stereoscopic work. -l'o continue our survey of stereoscopic photography generally. One
of the points where most stereoscopic cameras of the old type failed
was that they were not sufficiently well built. It is essential that a
camera for this work shall be so well constructed as to ensure absolute
freedom from warping. Unfortuna[ely, many of the cameras that were
sold for stereoscopic work by no means conformed to this condition.View original page 6Page 7 · Read text
It is sufficient to say that the Verascope is constructed of metal
throughout in such a manner that warping even to tl're smallest degrce
is an absolute impossibility.
Norv to proceed to the technical processes involved in che production
of stereoscopic pictures. In the old days, immense difficulty was
introdurced by the necessity for accurate trimming, transposing and
mounting of the prints to be'n'ierved in the stereoscope. It rvas herc
that the photographer encountered the serious disadvantages that
usually drove him somewhat reluctantly to the conclusion that "thell game was not worth the candle." It is here also that Jules Richard
has scored what may be considered his greatest trir-rmph. To overcome
the difficulties he decided, first of all, to use transparencies instead of
mounted prints. This removed the bugbear of troublcsome mounting.
It is as well at this point to utter a word of warning. The mencion of
transparencies, for some reason, conveys, we have discovered, the idea
of complication to the minds of some photographers. Making a
t.ransparency is just as easy, and just as difficult, as making an ordinary
print. The idea of increased difficulty is entirely unfounded. -I-he next
step in the process of simplification was to removc the difficulty of
transposing. This was accomplished by providing a simple transposing
printing frame. In this frame the registration is carried oLtt auto-
matically. No measurements or calculations of any kind are necessary.
Thus, by a logical and determined effort, has stereoscopic photog-
raphy with all its obvious advantages, been brought within the reach
of the photographer who demands simplicity and reasonable rapidity
of production. The difficulties of both apparatus and tcchnique have
been attacked and overcome. Every disadvantage l'rls been removed,
and every advantage reLained.
-l'here is r'o longer any reason for the prejr,rdice against stereoscopic
rvork. In the Verascope the photographcr has at his disposal a
camera which will enable him to continue his successes in the produc-
tion of ordinary prints and enlargements, and will give him the addi-
tional advantage of the ability to produce perfect stereoscopic pictures
that come nearest to Nature. Stereoscopic pictures made with the
Verascope literally live. They give a vivid impression of atmosphere
and distar:ce. Sr-rnshine not only looks like sunshine; it actually gives
thc physical perception of light and warmth. Verascope pictures
bring you face to face with your subject as you see it. There is rro more
satisl'ying record of your experiences, your travels, yoLlr holidays, your
hcme or yollr friends, than a collection of Verascope Transparencies.
Technical Description
The Verascope is a sturdy little camera designed to give the utmost
efficiencv both for ordinary photography and for stereoscopic work.
It produces single pictures 45 mm. square, and stereoscopic trans-
parencies consisting of two pictures each of this size.

Important
The question is sometimes asked "Why it is that Messrs. Richard do
not fit a focusing mechanism to their 45x107 mm.Verascope?" and in
order to answer this definitely, we quote che makers'actual explanation.
" A focusing adjustment both f rom a practical and theoretical point of
atew is quite unnecessary) on e camere of this description, owing to its smail
size, and to the great depth of focus obtainable with the short focus lenses
Jitted, and secondly, to the fact that no mechanical deuice, howeaer well con-
structed, is sufficiently precise to permit of the trao accurately paired ob-
jectiaes trauelling backwards and forunards in dead true alignment utith

used on the 4Sxl0Tmm.Verascope are adjusted to within I /1000 part of an inch, the importance of this point utill be appreciated.

Ienses which replace a focusing adjustment where such is requ-ired.
" During the period of manufacture of the Verascope, which goes back

than the aduantages if there are any.ll
Messrs. Richard have arrived at this conclusion not onlv after manv
years of experience, but after having actually carried out experiments
and constructed several experimental models.
That the Verascope has been for the last 25 years the most popular
camera of its kind is in a great measure due to the simplicity of the
instrument, and to the fact that it is a fixed focus camera-a practical
instrutment, and one that is always ready for use-even in unskilled and
inexperienced hands.

After the chronomos shutter was introduced in the verascope, many
requests were made for a' shutter of higher speed, so that the most
extreme motion could be stopped. To satisfy this demand Jules Richard added a simple mechanism to the regular shutter which
produces anactual speed of l/400 of a second in addition to the other
regular speeds.
As a result, the motion stopped by this shutter is fully equal to thar
of a focal plane shurter at l/1000 of a second, using a lens of seven-
inch focal length.
In every other way this model is the same as Model 6 and is furnished
with the same equipment. No Cunctator or Autochrome accessories
are included, but if desired, they may be purchased separately.

T,Iee TxlJ cm. Verascope has been designed for those who desire a
larger negative than the 45x107 mm. Verascopes produce. Two ad-
vantages are gained by this; first, a contact print 2%" * 2r/" can be
made from half of the negative, and second, when Autochrome pic-
tures are taken the grain and defects in the plate are less noticeable,
as the area of the plate is almost four times as great as the 45x107 mm.
This camera is also fitted with a very rigid focusing front as the
lenses are too long in focal length (85 mm.) to be used in fixed focus.
The diaphragms are of the Iris type and are operated by a bar which
keeps both openings at the same diameter. In all other respects this
model is the sanle as the Model 6, excepting as to size and weight.
The magazine is made to take 7xl3 cm. septums and is furnished
with twelve of this size. If it is desired to use 6113 cm. plates or
Autochromes, septums ma-V be had which fit in the same magazine.
It may be said regarding this camera that -Jules Richard strongly
favors the 7xl3 cm. plate over the 6xl3 cm. His reason is that the
7xl| cm. finished positir.,e consists of two square picttrres while the
6xl3 cm. prints are somertn,hat wider than they are high. The square
stereoscopic print is by far the more pleasing one to I'iew.

How often have we heard it said, "Oh that camera is too heavy and
the plates take up too much room. When on a long hunting trip or
while traveling, these two points become very important and a.ga,in
de- Jules Richardhas come to the front with the answer. A radical
parture from the Verascope, and yet incorporating its most important
points, the Chronomos Shutter and solid metal construction.
The new Horneos is scientifically and mechanically perfect. The
two lenses of Tessar formula are only fiths of an inch in diameter
including the mount, yet they are perfect anastigmats giving most
critical definition over the entire field at the full aperature of f . 4.5.
They are perf.ectly paired and their stops can be set simultaneously to

as necessary, but if it be required to photograph an object as close
l8 inches, a pair of suitable auxiliary lenses fitted permanently on the
front of the camera can be brought into position immediately.
The dimensions of the camera are 6r/,, x Z%,, x 2%,, and the weight
is only 26 ounces. Regular motioh picture film is used on brass spools
which may be loaded in daylight. E,ach spool is sufficient for 27
stereo or 54 single exposures. Enough fiLm for 1,600 stereo exposures weighs
! only three pounds and takes up a space of 3tt x 6tt x 4/"
l4View original page 16Page 17 · Read text
Thus the weight and size question has been solved with no important
sacrifice in the quality of the resulting pictures and the cost per picture
is exceedingly low. We will not presume to claim that the results of
this camera arsquite as fine as the pictures taken with the 45x107 mm.
or 7xl3 cm. Verascopes, nor will the negatives stand as great an
enlargement as do the larger ones. However, perfect enlargements up
to 5" x 7" can be made and the positives on motion picture film are
marvels of depth and detail.
The film is easily inserted and removed from the camera in any light.
Each section of film is brought into position behind the lenses by u
winding k.y which automatically registers the number of pictures
taken. During the exposure the film is pressed into contact with a
piece of optically flat glass to insure perfect register.
The exposed film, which is about one yard in length, can readiiy be
developed by means of the tray or daylight developing tank and pro-
duces a continuous band of 52 perfect little negatives. The printing
machine is also a marvel of Richard workmanship. Not onlv can the
exposure be readily adapted to any possible variaiion in the density of
the negatives, but each pair of pictures is automatically transposed in
the printing operation.
It must not be supposed for a moment that because the pictures are
so small they are in any way deficient when viewed in the stereoscope.
To the contrary there is a most surprising realism, with wonderful
suggestion of modeling and solidity, space and distance, light and
shade.
This brief description of the Horneos camera is sufficient to suggest
that it is quite unique. It is adapted for every kind of hand camera
work; for use on a tripod, for the production of perfect and portable
stereoscopic pictures, lantern slides and enlargements. It is not, and
could not be, a low priced instrument but it is remarkably reasonable
considering the workmanship, material, lenses and the unique char-
acter of the results it produces. Light weight and convenience are
its chief characteristics.

photography r-rsing the well known Lumiere Autochrome plares. The
resulting pictures are uncanny in their depiction of nature as we see it
with our eyes, combining the stereoscopic effect with the natura I
colors.
Special Autochrome screens are supplied, either in square form with
metal holders which are attached inside the box behind the lenses, or
in mounts which slip over the outside lens mounr. E,ither style of
screen displaces the image to the correct focal plane necessary to this
make of plate. A pair of these screens and a set of eight special sep-
tums for the magazine is all that is needed for the taking of color pic-
tures, the rest of the operation being exactly as for ordinary u'ork
excepting that the exposure for Autochromes is more prolonged.
For those who desire to use single plate holders, a special holder for
Autochrome plates is furnished. The metal frame No. l3t must be
used to hclld the single plate holder on the camera.
The letter "G" indicates that the item may be used either for the
Verascope or Glyphoscope.

i Autornatic Printer 45x107 rnrn. 6x13 cnlr. 7xl3 cral.
The Automatic Prin-
ter is a printer o f Awomatic
Printer stereoscopic trans- No.7 jta
,' with parencies, so contriv-
ed that the transposi- drawer
tion of the positive
plutes is done
automatically, in the
most rapid manner.
The cut illustrates
the gen eral design of
the printer, which is
constructed of inlaid
mahogany and metal
working parts in the
usual incomparable
Richard manner. The
stereoscopic negatirre
is laid on the inclined
bed of the machine,
over two exposure
apertures and is held
in place by a strong
clip. The positive
plate is laid on a carrter to the left hand of the printing bed where it
falls into place for the first exposure. Then simply by drawing out Lo
the full distance the knob seen on the right hand of the printer, the
plate is carried over to the other side of the bed, and on thrusting the
knob back again is placed in position for the second exposure.
The exposure is made by turning the rear knob on the right hand
end, thereby lowering a ruby screen placed in front of the light source,
which is a Z5 watt electric globe. The act of lowering this screen
starts the second hand of the clock for timing the exposure, the orange
dial of which is illuminated by the light source. Closing the ruby
screen after the exposure releases the clock hand which returns to
zero ready for the second exposure. The orange clock dial may be
used to illuminate the dish while the prints are being developed.
The 45 xl07 mm. printer is made in two styles, No. 731 without
drawer, and No. 73la with a four compartment drawer for holding
the exposed and unexposed positive plates while working.
The 7xl3 cm. and 6xl3 cm. printers are slightly different from the
45x107 mm. in the mechanism and are constructed of dull finished
walnut instead of inlaid mahogany. Both of the larger sizes have the
positive drawer below. 23
