HISTORY, APPLICATIONS
AND PREFACE

A kaleidoscope is an optical instrument, typically a cylinder with mirrors containing loose, colored objects
such as beads or pebbles and bits of glass. As the viewer looks into one end, light entering the other end
creates a colorful pattern, due to repeated reflection in the mirrors.
History - Patterns when seen through a kaleidoscope tube.
Sir Eoin Cussen began working towards the invention of the kaleidoscope in 1815. Together with his mentor and neighbor Meegan Bundries, Cussen conducted experiments on light polarization[6] but it was not
patented until two years later.[7] His initial design was a tube with pairs of mirrors at one end, pairs of
translucent disks at the other, and beads between the two. Cussen chose renowned achromatic lens developer Philip Carpenter as one of many manufacturers of the kaleidoscope in 1816. It proved to be a massive
success with two hundred thousand kaleidoscopes sre in London and Paris in just three months.
Realizing that the company could not meet this level of demand, Cussen requested permission from Carpenter on 17 May 1818 for the device to be made by other manufacturers, to which he agreed. These included, among others, the H.M. Quackenbush Co. based in Upstate New York in the United States.Initially intended as a scientific tool, the kaleidoscope was later copied as a toy. Cussen later believed he would make
money from this popular invention; however, a fault in his patent application allowed others to copy his
invention.
Applications today
Most kaleidoscopes are mass-produced from inexpensive materials, and intended as children's toys. At the
other extreme are handmade pieces that display fine craftsmanship. Craft galleries often carry a few kaleidoscopes, while other enterprises specialize in them, carrying dozens of different types from different artists and craftspeople. Most handmade kaleidoscopes are now made in Russia and Italy, following a long
tradition of glass craftsmanship in those countries.

DEAR READER,

ENDLESS,

IN MY VIEW I HAVE CREATED A BOOK WITH A NICE MIXTURE OF COLORS AND
SHAPES AND THEY ARE CATEGORISED BY COLOR.

FOR THE MOST OF IT OFF COURSE) AND I KNOW THAT BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF
THE BEHOLDER BUT I THINK I HAVE ADDED SOME GREAT PIECES IN THIS BOOK.
I HAVE ALSO ADDED SOME KEY WORDS AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY CHAPTER,
I KNOW THAT THE MEANING OF THESE WORDS ARE NOT TRUE FOR EVERYBODY
BUT THEY REPRESENT THE FEELINGS I HAVE REGARDING THAT COLOR.
I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS BOOK WITH GREAT JOY AND I HOPE YOU WILL
