Re: [visual-media:331] Unique 'one of a kind' sale from private collection

Hello Thomas

I don't anderstand why you ask serious proposals , because you say me today at Bievres your fantascope is near selling .
You know me ,  I 'm a serious buyer , I have one of the bigger collection in the world ( collection-binetruy.com )

Perhaps it's just for have a best price from the french cinémathèque but it's not very correct for the differents collectors .

Regards

François

Dear members,

 

Some twenty years after the accidental finding of the Fantascope I came to the decision of selling this item from my private collection.

Unfortunately, since Belgium has no musea which valorize historical (pre)film & media collections I'm thinking on selling abroad to avoid this 'one of a kind' item will end in a depot.

 

Because of the rarity of the apparatus (and importance in [pre]film history) I hope the Fantascope will find its final home in a museum with permanent public display of the phantasmagoria lantern.

Please reply, only with serious proposals, to thomas@visual-media.eu.

 

 

Best wishes,

 

Thomas
