Camera Lucida By Charles Chevalier, C. 1840
Artist: Charles Chevalier
A very fine example of a camera lucida bearing the authentic signature “Charles Chevalier Inge Optn Breveté / Palais Royal 163 in Paris.”
The instrument can therefore be dated to the 1840s
The instrument is in perfect condition, complete with its prism and two solar filters, and it has retained one of its two lenses, which provide different magnifications and views.
The set is housed in its original black morocco leather case lined with purple velvet, measuring 21.5 × 7 × 3 cm.
