A seventeenth century drawing of a
camera obscura, an
optical device whose invention eventually led to
photography.
Light from a scene enters through a hole in side of a room, as depicted here in a cutaway view (a box may be used, such as with a
pinhole camera), and strikes a surface where it is reproduced, in color, and upside-down.Artist: Unknown
