   I was wondering if there was such a device? Years ago I bought an item   
   at a garage sale, a wooden box (about 12" long, 5" high and 9" wide). AS   
   the box opens from from the top at at one end there unfolds a large   
   magnifier  and the other end a small easel on which to put the painting   
   in progress. (I am not sure if photographs are permitted on this   
   newsgroup but if they are I can photograph this item). Does anyone if   
   these devices are old or something more recent...its in such good   
   condition my guess its the latter.
