The Great Union Camera Obscura...ls Still With Us Today!
- Authors
Fenton, James
- Abstract
The article describes the Great Union Camera Obscura. It relates that a camera obscura is built like a cupola or dovecot and capped with a revolving pinnacle that housed a lens and mirror, which presented a formidable prison-like appearance due to the absence of windows. The Great Union Camera Obscura has a multilens system where the whole panorama of a view can be viewed by walking around the interior. It also notes that a battery of eleven lenses, aimed at a fixed field of view, creates a sequence of pictures of the surrounding scene.
