Camera Obscura


This is the first known illustration of the camera obscura, published
in a work by the Dutch
scientist Rainer Gemma Frisius; De radio
astronomico et geometrico liber in the year of 1545.

A fine collection of links about camera obscura
Here is a site about pinhole cameras (fascinating stuff), recommended by Mats.
