Based on a noonday cannon commissioned by the Sun King, Louis XIV, for the gardens of Versailles, this miniature bronze cannon is set off at noon by the sun's rays, which are magnified through a lens.
Beautiful and intriguing as a scientific instrument yet dramatically theatrical when put to use outside.
