Gabriel, forget the net and open F. Drouin's "The
Stereoscope and Stereoscopic Photography" written
in 1894 :)  (Available from Reel 3-D, everyone
should have this book and read it!!!)

Page 25 shows a picture of a Telestereoscope. A child
is using in a scenic view, as we use mounted binoculars
today.

Drouin writes: "The Telestereoscope, invented by 
Helmholtz, 1857, is an apparatus the function of
which is to increase the relief of distant objects
by enlarging the optical angle..... " etc.
