- In 1857, the earliest known illustration of a vertical biunial magic lantern, probably provided by E.G. Wood, appeared in the Horne & Thornthwaite catalogue.[1] Biunial lanterns, with two projecting optical sets in one apparatus, were produced to more easily project dissolving views.[2]
- In 1857, the social reformer Florence Nightingale produced "coxcombs" as part of a campaign to improve sanitary conditions in the British Army. It was an early example two-dimensional example of scientific visualization.[3] This prefigured modern scientific visualization techniques that use computer graphics.[4]
