camera obscura

(The diameter of the picture being 5 feet), embracing the whole of the extensive view from the base of the Tower to the horizon. The Camera Obscura, to those unacquainted with it, has a magic effect. The entire of the varied scenery within the range of the summit of the observatory, including figures, and animals in motion, carriages, the waving of foliage, ships and packets arriving and departing, being brought in succession into the picture, with the distinctness and vivid colouring of nature, and affording a high gratification to the observer from the continual changes and varied effects of light and shade upon the landscape.
