The Transient Glance, The Claude mirror and the Picturesque. This site, claudemirror.com, mirrored, enhanced and updated more regularly at claudemirror.mac or web.mac.com/aamckay, reflects scholar Suzanne Matheson’s and artist Alex McKay’s research about this 18th century optical instrument used for viewing and transcribing landscape. We seek to offer both a corrective to the misinformation surrounding the Claude mirror and to create a focal point for further interest in this all-but-forgotten and misunderstood device. As interest in the Claude mirror grows we have received many enquiries about where one might obtain one. If you are interested please contact us via email ‘info at claudemirror.com’.
