A Poor Man's Photography At The Great Pyramid, In The Year 1865 is a book written by Charles Piazzi Smyth and published in 1870. The book is a detailed account of Smyth's journey to the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt in 1865, where he conducted a series of experiments and measurements using a camera and other scientific equipment. Smyth, who was an astronomer and a photographer, was interested in studying the pyramid's geometry, architecture, and astronomical alignments. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Smyth's research. He describes his journey to Egypt, his preparations for the expedition, and his interactions with the local people. He also discusses the history and significance of the Great Pyramid, and presents his findings on its measurements and alignments. One of the most interesting aspects of the book is Smyth's use of photography to document his experiments. He explains in detail the techniques he used to take photographs of the pyramid and its surroundings, and includes many of these photographs in the book. Overall, A Poor Man's Photography At The Great Pyramid, In The Year 1865 is a fascinating account of one man's scientific exploration of one of the world's most iconic landmarks. It provides a unique perspective on the history and culture of Egypt, as well as the scientific methods used by researchers in the 19th century.Compared With That Of The Ordnance Survey Establishment, Subsidized By London Wealth And Under The Orders Colonel Sir Henry James, At The Same Place Four Years Afterwards.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
