Hi all,
I'm doing some research on the earliest constructions of my hometown,
Mariehamn.
At the link below there is one very early photograph of the town, from
around 1870. In it there are still a number of houses, farms, of the village
where the town was founded in 1861. I'm trying to
Are some of the buildings still standing? If so, I would measure one
existing building that appears in the rear of the photo and one in
the front. That would give you a scale and a perspective ratio.
Someone else may have a better idea.

If you could pin down the exact location where the photographer was
taking this picture, you could take a new picture of the current
situation, and by layering the old picture on the new, you can at least
find out where the old buildings were as compared to the current situation.
I don't think
Or you could maybe try to overlay it with a grid in the same perspective
as the scene. I tried something like this:

But I don't think the perspective is correct...

You really need to know a couple of things, the more or less exact
location from which the image was captured, exactly what the format of
the image was, (which should relatively easy if you have an uncut
original since prints were usually contact printed), but your assumption
is wrong on focal
Maybe a surveyor would know. Dave Brooks, are you

The original camera was a darkened room with a lens and an artist
drawing on the wall opposite the lens.
Camera does mean chamber, as in room, in Latin.

Yep, that's obvious.
The authors go much further than that.
Take a look at the first two articles - it is rather interesting.
(You can skip the math if it bothers you ;-) ).
Also, a brief (and rather dry) summary is available on Wikipedia:

Small addition: if you would attempt this, the direction of your camera
*will* matter to get the correct perspective match with the old picture.
The center of the old picture should be the same as the center of the
new picture!

So what? During the Renaissance and later some painters used optical
devices, lenses etc. to help them with their painting. We know this
because some of them, and some other Renaissance people, wrote about
it and even painted it. It was no secret.
