Die Theorie des Sehens und räumlichen Vorstellens, vom physikalischen, physiologischen und psychologischen Standpunkte

Cornelius, Carl Sebastian · 1861 · Halle, Schmidt · 117 pictures

Carl Sebastian Cornelius's 1861 treatise on vision and spatial perception, published in Halle by Schmidt for German readers in physics, physiology and psychology. The 117 wood-engraved figures are line diagrams: ray bundles converging through lenses, cross-sections of the eyeball with labelled focal points, and geometric constructions on plane grids, usable as sparse technical linework.
