I'm seein' double, I'm seein' double - This is a Vistascreen 3D viewer and a stereo card from the early 1960s. It was Britain's answer to the very popular View Master. The trouble with the View Master was that it was American and most of the content for it had an American bias, so the Vistascreen system produced stereo cards more suitable for the British market. Vistascreen's photographer, Stanley Long had in the 1950s produced a series of tasteful nude studies from his Soho studio. This probably goes to explain some of the more adult content that was available.
