Artist's Comments

In cca. 3000 B.C. Egyptians and Babylonians acknowledge light and shadow, and may have used them in primitive forms of entertainment. The Chaldeans may have used magnifying glasses in conjunction with studies in light. Lenses will be unearthed in the 19th century dating back to this period. The Asian shadow play and Japanese mirrors make an appearance. The Chinese will use firelight to illuminate their shadows.

An archaeologist, Sir Austen H. Layard, excavates the remains of Babylon in 1850 and describes a rock-crystal find dating back to 9th century B.C. (the first lenses).
Layard shook the world a year earlier (1849) when he unearthed Nineveh.
