William Wollaston (England, 1812).

He was a very interesting character and believe his contemporaries use to refer to him as the Pope. I think he invented the camera lucida from seeing a virtual image from a crack in his shaving mirror.

These lenses are tools for the artist.
They can close the eyes to reality, then re-open them to the imagination.
See differently.
