Wooden Camera Lucida 1880

Wooden Camera Lucida

This is a wooden camera lucida type of device probably from the late 1800′s. It was used to enable the user to sketch objects. The subject is seen as a virtual image, on a drawing surface, by the use of two mirrors. One mirror is regular and the other is transparent.
Very unusual.
