"Dragon's Den" is a black and white photograph taken by Theophilus Smith sometime before 1864. The small-scale image, measuring only 92mm by 73mm, depicts a cave-like opening in a rocky outcrop. The image is likely a landscape photograph, capturing the natural beauty of the subject. Despite its small size, the photograph provides a detailed view of the rocky terrain and the entrance to the cave, inviting viewers to imagine the stories and mysteries it holds.
