Jules Richard, Paris | Homéos Stereo & 'Le Cunctator' Estimate: €1,800–2,000 Year: c. 1920 Serial No.: 347 Condition: B+ English: Early French 35mm stereoscopic camera, representing one of the pioneering developments in miniature photography and one of the earliest commercially produced stereoscopic cameras using 35mm cine film. Developed by Jules Richard in collaboration with Louis Colardeau and patented in 1913, the ingenious Homéos features a remarkably sophisticated mechanical construction, including an unusual film transport system and a specially designed shutter mechanism. This example is in very fine, working condition and comes with the exceptionally interesting Jules Richard “Le Cunctator” No. 1511, an elaborate clockwork-operated photographic timing device designed for delayed exposures and extended exposure times. A fascinating example of early precision engineering, the Cunctator is rarely found together with a Homéos camera. Comes with the original black leather carrying case.
