Most visitors to the stately Homes of England would buy a tea towel, thimble or spoon but back in the 1960's you could have purchased a Vistascreen booklet of ten views so you could tour the Place again in magnificient monochrome 3D from the comfort of your sofa. Designed specifically for Vistascreen viewers or it's "clones" each booklet contained 10 double imaged, monochrome real photographs. When inserted into the viewer a 3D image could be seen. As a mutually beneficial marketing ploy, booklets for Historical Houses could only be obtained by going to the location and were not available in general shops. They originally cost 2/6d each booklet. The outer box remains intact and has retained it's colours. Being almost 60 years old means the box has some wear; edges and corners are rubbed. The paper folder that holds the cards has a small tear along the fold. All the cards are present and in excellent clean condition. The views in this booklet are: Sir Winston Churchill's Birth Room, The Grand Cabinet (two views), The Saloon, The 1st State Room, The Red Drawing Room, The Chapel, Long Library, Great Hall Looking North, and The Blenheim Tapestry. Also included in fantastic condition is a double-sided leaflet detailing the other available sets to collect. A great item for a Vistascreen collector, for someone with an interest in Blenheim Palace or simply for someone looking to relive their childhood.
