JEAN-FRANCOIS NICERON (1613-1646)
In 'La Perspective Curieuse' (Posthumously, Niceron, J., Paris, 1652) #Niceron gives a description of the Camera Obscura and it's use. Niceron's description and diagrams of the Camera Obscura appear not in the first edition of his book, but in the later, 1652 posthumous edition.
I've found that he used the device to demonstrate a fundamental principle of optics: the relationship between an object's distance and the size of its projected image.
This information will be used to detail his specific contributions to the understanding of the Camera Obscura, placing him in a lineage with other contemporary figures like Kepler and della Porta.
Niceron told of charlatans who used the image-making process to cheat patrons out of their purses.
Tabula Scalata does not appear to have a date of origin or an originator, but Jean François #Niceron whom I have spoken on, has been mentioned. #JeanFrançoisNiceron
And, it is cited in #Shakespeare's writings as well as other period literature.
In particular Richard II, Act II, Scene ii, 17 where we read;
"Each substance of a grief hath twenty shadows Which shows like grief itself but is not so; For sorrow’s eyes, glazed with blinding tears, Divides one thing entire to many objects, Like perspectives, which rightly gazed upon Show nothing but confusion, eyed awry Distinguish form. So your sweet Majesty, Looking awry upon your lord’s departure, Find shapes of grief more than himself to wail, Which, looked on as it is, is naught but shadows Of what it is not. Then, thrice-gracious queen, More than your lord’s departure weep not. More is not seen, Or if it be, ’tis with false sorrow’s eye,
Which for things true weeps things imaginary."
Which Tabula Scalata Shakespeare was referring to I am still trying to find. Pictured is Niceron’s Tabula Scalata from La Perspective Curieuse with illustration and description in Latin.

Tabula Scalata are formed by transferring two images on opposite sides of vertical wooden prisms. The history of Tabula Scalata dates back to the 1500s, when it found acceptance in England as a newly introduced form of art.
Tabula Scalata could be vertical or horizontal but most were vertical. A form of vertical montage as it’s been called by many.
If you have been driving and seen a changing billboard with at least two advertising images blending to and from each other, you have seen a Tabula Scalata.
The only difference with these mechanical billboards of today, is you don’t have to change your perspective from this side to that. The #billboard will do that for you.
What's your favourite #anamorphosis? Plotting a class on visual grids and subversions for a module I teach on Connecting the Arts, I encounter things I have never seen in my home city. #Thaumaturgus #Niceron
Thanks for the memory, @timehop This will NEVER stop being funny. #NiceRon #MondayMorning #MondayMotivation #MondayVibes
