Black Mirror or Lorrain Mirror, named after the painter Claude Lorrain (1602-1682)
A black convex mirror in a case with a lid that allowed painters to see the landscape reduced in greyscale.
The user, with their back to their subject, uses the mirror in the opposite direction but with an attention and concentration equivalent to that of the photographer composing their subject in the viewfinder of their camera.
