Englische Version des deutschen Artikels "Die Camera Obscura" 419.COB
Pre-cut cardboard kit for the mother of all cameras with SLR optics for image alignment and for drawing motifs in the correct perspective.
Our photo, film and video cameras all have a common ancestor: the camera obscura. Aristotle (384-332 BC) was the first to study it scientifically, and Leonardo da Vinci discovered that it is an optical principle found in our eyes. In 1686, Johann Zahn constructed a camera obscura for the first time, which allowed simple tracing of motifs with the help of a mirror. Around 1750, painters such as the venetian Canaletto used the camera obscura to sketch the perspectives for his famous city views. Then, in 1836, when the french Nicéphore Nièpce directed the image onto a light-sensitive plate for the first time, the camera was invented.
Light from the outside world falls through a small hole onto the opposite wall of a room, creating an upside-down image. This is projected by a mirror onto a ground glass screen where it can be viewed and copied. The enclosed lens makes the image particularly bright and sharp.
The construction time is about 6 hours.
