The Wray Stereo Graphic is a British 35mm stereo camera introduced around 1955 by Wray (Optical Works) Ltd of Bromley, Kent. It shoots the 5-perforation Realist-standard format, producing 24x23mm stereo pairs on ordinary 35mm film, maintaining compatibility with the established American stereo slide-mounting and viewing ecosystem. The camera is equipped with twin Wray Lustrar or Wray Anastigmat lenses - optics from Wray's own production, giving the camera genuine British glass rather than sourced lenses - at approximately 25mm or 35mm focal length with a maximum aperture around f/4. A central leaf shutter handles exposure, and the camera is fully mechanical with no battery requirement. The Wray Stereo Graphic is uncommon outside the United Kingdom and represents a rare intersection of British precision optics manufacture with the international stereo photography craze of the mid-1950s.

Wray (Optical Works) Ltd was an established British manufacturer of precision optical instruments and photographic lenses, producing lenses for cine cameras, aerial photography, and still cameras under the Lustrar brand name. By the mid-1950s, the stereo photography boom that had swept the United States was crossing the Atlantic, and Wray developed the Stereo Graphic as both a camera product and a showcase for its own lens production capability. The camera was produced in relatively small numbers compared to American competitors - Britain had a smaller domestic base of stereo camera enthusiasts - and was sold primarily through British photographic retailers. Production appears to have ended as the global stereo photography fad subsided around the end of the decade. The Stereo Graphic remained a niche product and is today considerably rarer on the collector market than comparable American or German stereo cameras of the same era.
The Wray Stereo Graphic is historically significant as one of very few British-manufactured 35mm stereo cameras. While the 1950s stereo boom was dominated by American brands (David White, Kodak, Revere, TDC) and supplemented by German bodies, Britain had almost no domestic stereo camera production. The Wray represents the exception. The use of Wray's own Lustrar or Anastigmat lenses - rather than imported or licensed optics - makes the camera a genuine artifact of British photographic manufacturing at a moment when that industry was in competitive decline relative to German and Japanese production. For stereo camera collectors, the Wray Stereo Graphic occupies a prestigious and scarce position: rarer than American equivalents, with British provenance and optically credible glass.
