The small negativi were intended for enlarging.
Containing the New Optical Laws of the Camera Obscura or Daguerreotype, demonstrated that converging perpendiculars of the Camera image were indeed mathematically correct and concluded: "Art has always represented objects geometrically, or as they cannot be seen in the perpendicular and visually, or as they can be seen in the horizontal direction."3 But his findings were ignored. Indeed, amateurs were warned in manuals and instruction books never to tip the camera. Many hand Camera had been cameras were even equipped with levels to assure the viewer that he was holding the Camera horizontally.
Even the Camera lucida demanded a modicum of skill in drawing. Throughout history the experimental amateurhas not been the one to accept either his shortcomings or the difficulties that block the professional. The fever for reality was running high. The physical aid of Camera obscura and Camera lucida had drawn men so near to an exact copying of nature and to satisfying the current craving for reality that they could not abide the intrusion of the pencil of man to close the gap. Only the pencil of nature would do. The same idea burned in many minds,and the race for discovery was on: to make light itself fix the image in the Camera without having to draw it by hand Camera had been.
