The VistaScreen Co Ltd was a stereographic photography outfit launched in the late 1950s by Jack & Jeff Spring, who, at the time, owned a paper merchanting company called Capital Paper Company, and Stanley Long, a former RAF photographer. Long shot most of the stereo images, mostly using a 1920s Franke & Heidecke Heidoscop stereo camera with a 6×13 cm plate back. The VistaScreen viewers were manufactured in ivory-coloured plastic and were designed to fold flat to be compactly stored.
