The International Exhibition: stereoscope by Mr. Emanuel, of Brook-street, 1862. Creator: Unknown

The International Exhibition: stereoscope by Mr. Emanuel, of Brook-street, 1862. Ivory is one of the most beautiful objects that can be used in ornamental work, and its admirable properties have been appreciated from time immemorial...It is questionable, however, whether the great beauty of the ivory will last. It has a tendency to blanch and to turn yellow; but in its present state, new from the workman's hands, it is certainly very charming. Amongst the larger ornaments produced by this jeweller we engrave a stereoscope mounted in ivory, which is profusely decorated with an ornamentation of gold set with jewels. The variety of coloured stones, with their gold settings, produces a very gorgeous effect, and especially fits it for the possession of the Eastern potentate for whom it is, we believe, destined. The design is at once curious and novel, and the object very naturally attracts a great number of people as they pass Mr. Emanuel's trophy'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a stunning stereoscope created by Mr. Emanuel of Brook-street in 1862. The stereoscope, an early 3D viewing device, is encased in exquisite ivory, a material renowned for its timeless beauty and versatility in ornamental work. However, the allure of ivory is not without its challenges, as it is susceptible to discoloration and fading over time. Nevertheless, in its pristine state, the ivory's charm is undeniable. Adorning the ivory exterior are intricate gold accents, set with an array of vibrant jewels. The harmonious blend of colorful stones and gold settings creates a breathtakingly opulent effect. The design, both curious and novel, is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of Mr. Emanuel and his team. The stereoscope, with its unique and alluring appearance, is a true work of art. Its creation was likely intended for an Eastern potentate, further emphasizing its grandeur and exclusivity. As visitors strolled past Mr. Emanuel's establishment during the International Exhibition of 1862, they could not help but be drawn to this magnificent object, marveling at its beauty and the intricate details that set it apart. The stereoscope remains an enduring symbol of the artistic and technological innovations of the Victorian era.
