Camera lucida by an unidentified manufacturer, perhaps of British make. The instrument is made of brass components and is enclosed in a maroon morocco case, lined in blue velvet. The device consists of a table clamp and fixing screws, telescoping system with two extending tubes for adjustment and focusing, and a triangular crystal prism. Two circular lenses (22 and 27 mm in diameter) descend from the prism piece. - Subject Terms:
