Traité d'optique : où l'on donne la théorie de la lumiere dans le système Newtonien, avec de nouvelles solutions des principaux problêmes de dioptrique & de catoptrique
A 1752 French optics treatise by the marquis de Courtivron, published in Paris by Durand and Pissot, that explains light theory under Newtonian principles for students and natural philosophers. Its plates are precise engraved ray diagrams showing how light bends through lenses, eyes and mirrors, with lettered points and dashed construction lines a designer could borrow for geometric line work.
