Image Image:Cameralucida01.jpg is not from 1807 -- the woman's clothes are from the 1830's (or possibly the end of the 1820's); see the pink outfit in Image:1833 fashion plate.jpg... Churchh 07:59, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
This should talk about Olmec mirrors (worn as necklaces) of polished magnetite and ilmenite, which were possibly used to start fires and perhaps as camera lucidas.
Is this image a camera lucida? A suitable illustration?--Wetman (talk) 22:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well, the woman in that image is wearing a classic early 1790's "pouter-pigeon" outfit, while the article says that the camera lucide was repopularized in 1806, so there seems to be a chronological difficulty... Churchh (talk) 22:28, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
