Luxurious apparatus inspired by Daguerre's Diorama and the Polyrama Panoptique. The entire viewer pivots to take both vertical and horizontal views. The Megalithoscope or Megaletoscopio is placed on a table facing a strong light source. A photographic view is inserted in the opening. By opening and closing the doors, the scene changes appearance from day to night. Invented by Carlo Ponti in 1860. Italy.
