I tried to photograph my old Viewmaster "The Seven Ancient Wonders of the World" reel:
with a child's projector microscope with limited results.
1. The Pyramids of Egypt (2780 B.C.)
Here is the unmagnified reel just backlit. The title of the image is at the top of the circle and the two stereoscopic images are along the horizontal diameter:
