Another old article

I recently went into Stanley Page's dissertation bibliography again
to find some new interest for my collection of early articles about
pinhole photography and found a couple worth adding.

For you Physics geeks who have to know exactly how sharp you can make
a pinhole image, there's Lord Rayleigh's "On Pin-hole photography"
from 1891, the original heavy physics on the limitations of pinhole
optical systems.

For the less technically minded, there's an unusually lighthearted
(for a victorian author) description of how and why pinhole - "Rank
Heresy–A Few Lines on Pinhole Work" by F.A. Wright (1897)
