The great Chinese Emperor Qianlong became fascinated by the art of photography, and he ordered his finest artisans to create a series of cameras made entirely of porcelain.
The artisans worked tirelessly to create a masterpiece that would please the Emperor. They carefully crafted each piece of the camera by hand, using the finest kaolin clay and the most delicate of designs.
The resulting images were stunning, and the Emperor was so pleased with the camera that he ordered several more to be made for his court photographers.
The porcelain cameras became a symbol of the Emperor's love for photography and his admiration for the artisans who had created them.
