Baudry Isographe Stereo
The Baudry Isographe Stereo is a French stereo camera, designed to expose paired images for stereoscopic viewing. Baudry was a French maker, and the Isographe Stereo sits among the niche European stereo cameras of the early 20th century.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the Baudry Isographe Stereo have ranged from £1,500 to £1,900, with a midpoint of £1,700 across the limited records to hand. As of today the model trades thinly, so the value any given example sells for in 2026 will swing materially with completeness, optical condition and provenance.
