I'm sure the people who were fascinated by cameras obscura never could have imagined all the digital images that get taken every moment of every day. Camera covers photography back to its very beginning, including examples of every type of mechanism possible. Take, for example, Thompson's Revolver Camera from 1862. It's a handheld unit that has a handle like a gun and produces four 1-inch images on a single plate. The Gem Apparatus from 1880 was able to produce twelve identical small images with a single exposure and sold for just 5 pounds!
