folding viewer

[P3D Ray Dobbins <74670.1070@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just recieved a great gift from a friend  that i'd like to know more about..
Its from england, a folding stereo viewer made of black  crackle finished metal
that holds separate left and right card views. 
 The viewer is rectangular, has simple round glass lenses and folds ino
something about the size of a cigarette case, perhaps a little larger  (12 by
8cm...3.5 by5 in.)  The view cards are real photos, not lithos, and on the back
it says "Issued with Army Club Cigarettes"...Cavenders Ltd, London.  The images
are very good photographically...copyrighted by  J Dearden Holmes.
"Peeps into Many lands, A Series of 72 Real Photographs".

I'm finding it hard to date the photographs since they're from a kind of
general, -people who look strange to us-, victorian style.
Anyone know about when this was made.,  or about Dearden...or?

Thanks in advance..
