this early form of photography was used to make the shroud by Leonardo Da vinci.
In 13th-century England Roger Bacon described the use of a camera obscura for the safe observation of solar eclipses.[9] Its potential as a drawing aid may have been familiar to artists by as early as the 15th century; Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519 AD) described camera obscura in Codex Atlanticus. Johann Zahn's Oculus Artificialis Teledioptricus Sive Telescopium was published in 1685. This work contains many descriptions and diagrams, illustrations and sketches of both the camera obscura and of the magic lantern.
The actual shroud has chemicals on it. The figure used was actually 2 bodies.The back photograph was slightly smaller than the front body.
