Leonardo’s
manuscripts give detailed accounts of the camera
|
|
|
obscura effect,
observations, diagrams and explanations of it's
|
|
principle.

Due to Vinci's
special form of writing (written backwards
|
|
|
called Mirror
Writing), his work on the camera would not
|
|
|
become common
knowledge in the civilized world for almost
|
|
|
three centuries
- these descriptions would remain unknown of
|
|
|
for 297 years
when Professor Venturi would decipher and
|
|
|
publish them in
1797.
