Sutton, Thomas, 1818-1875, Dawson, George, fl. 1885, Peabody, Francis, 1801-1867 · 1867 · London : S. Low, Son, & Marston · 4 pictures

A dictionary of photography compiled by Thomas Sutton and George Dawson and published in London by S. Low, Son, & Marston in 1867, aimed at photographers and optical students. Its pictures are plain line diagrams of lenses, light rays converging to points, and reflected ray paths, drawn with lettered reference points and arrows, which a designer might borrow as clean schematic motifs for technical or scientific graphics.
