Object description:

Optical box. This instrument had three functions: it was a camera obscura used for drawing; it could be used to see opaque optical views; and theatrical dioramas could be viewed with it. This triple functionality meant this instrument was unique and important. Besides this, it could be folded up into the shape of a book and easily transported.
