- Description
- This is a metal instrument (probably brass) covered with orange celluloid speckled with small metal stars. The cross-hatching on the surface, visible through the celluloid, was probably produced by a method known as engine turning. The objective lenses are 35 mm in diameter. The length is 6.3 cm closed. The barrels are flared. One eye tube is marked “L’Ingenieur / Strope / Optician” and the other “Bréveté / 24 Palais Royal / Paris.”
- G. Strope was active in the 1870s, enjoyed a high-end location in Paris, and advertised his wares in books written for foreign tourists.
- This example came to the Smithsonian in 1922, in the large bequest of Cassie Mason Myers Julian James.
