This early surveillance instrument consisted of two mirrors at roughly right angles mounted to the surface of a window frame, presumably to allow the shop owner to monitor activity on the street in both directions. Something to do when business is slow. It is more attractive than a closed circuit camera mounted in the same position, that is for sure. I must have found it fascinating at the time, because I took a few photographs of the set up from multiple angles. I was hoping to get a shot of the shop owner reflected in the mirror, but no such luck, so I framed up the little red star instead.
Tasting notes: Sony RX-10.
