The Lord's Prayer Cross, circa 1859: These were very popular in the 19th
century. People would stand in long lines and wait to read them at
scientific expositions. They were invented by René Dagron, a french
photographer, after he viewed the microphotographs of John Benjamin
Dancer. This cross contains a very small microscopic picture of the
Lord's Prayer. It is attached to a cylindrical lens which is embedded in
the cross and enlarges the image. Biblical scripture microphoto
graphy
eventually led to microfilm; which then led to micro photo lithography;
which led to today's computer chips, smart phones, and space programs.
My Wonders of the Bible collection may very well be the largest holding
of micro- and nano typographic Biblical scripture in the world today.
