An evanotype is a photograph created through an early form of image capture technique invented on Scadrial after the Catacendre.[1]
Evanotypes are captured using special cameras. Early evanotype cameras were large and required the subject to stand still. The camera used by the kandra explorer ReLuur was a newer model that could take action pictures and was small enough to fit in ReLuur's pack.[1] It is not clear when evanotypes were invented, but by around 330 PC they were relatively common, as people living in the Roughs had access to them.[2]
Evanoscope
In 342 PC, a new device known as an evanoscope was developed. It was an image projector that used lights to enlarge and display an evanotype on a given surface, such as a wall. Both Wayne and Marasi were shocked to see an evanoscope in action, and VenDell believed that they would be quite popular.[1]
Harmony let slip to the kandra the concept of moving images, although he refused to expand on the subject.[1]
Trivia
- Evanotypes are presumably inspired by real-world photographic processes invented in the 19th century (such as the daguerreotype, Ambrotype, and tintype) that use metals and chemicals to create monochromatic images.
