Re: [photo-3d] Historical Realist Question

The box that I have like this has a cardboard insert for the camera.
These were usually removed and lost, apparently. Sorry I do not have a
photo. The insert consists of several layers of corrugated cardboard
glued together, the top layer painted red, and a camera shape cut out of
the middle of this so that the camera presumably would not rattle
around. The case, I guess, was in its own separate box rather than this
presentation box. -Linda
