Optical illusions of motion is a late nineteenth-century scientific treatise on vision, written by Henry Pickering Bowditch and G. Stanley Hall and published in London in 1882 for ophthalmologists and psychologists. Its plates show printed striped gratings, spirals and concentric rings beside an apparatus with a hand crank, alongside a brain-surface diagram with labelled lobes, offering a designer a stark vocabulary of op-art patterns and diagrammatic linework.
