Subject: Gaston Tissandiers ‘A History and Handbook of Photography’ of 1877
In the book above, you can begin reading about Fevrier’s ‘Pillar Stereoscope’ on page 293 https://archive.org/details/historyhandbooko00tissuoft/page/292/mode/2up

PILLAR STEREOSCOPE
M. FEVRIER
Modelled after Sir David Brewster's ‘Stereoscope’, we have the ‘Pillar Stereoscope’ invented by one M. Fevrier, of whom little documentation exists.
Fevrier’s ‘Pillar Stereoscope’ provided an absurd 3D effect and enlarged the photographs being viewed, that “nothing can better represent natural objects.” Turning a small knob causes an axis to rotate around which the ‘Stereoscopic Photographs’ are arranged.
The process employed in producing photographic impressions suitable for being viewed through the lenses of the ‘Pillar Stereoscope’ involved two views of the same subject taken by placing 2 cameras (the lenses separated by approx. 20-24” apart) on a sliding brace. To give greater correctness to the impressions, two views are generally taken at the same moment, by two distinct cameras, having lenses of uniform focus and distance from each other, fastened together by a movable slide fixed on the top of a tripod.
No Stereoviews by Fevrier have been found.
Gaston Tissandiers ‘A History and Handbook of Photography’ of 1877 has the only reference to Fevriers ‘Pillar Stereoscope’ that I’ve seen.
