A 1784 French treatise by Jacques Cambry, published in Paris by Couturier, that explains the theory of animal magnetism and its mesmerist claims about vision. Its two pictures are a decorative tailpiece of a flower basket between swags and a line drawing of two people with dotted sight lines connecting their eyes and hands. A designer could take the engraved swag border and the diagrammatic sight-line drawing as models for period ornament and explanatory figures.
