Subject: A treatise on the kaleidoscope
1815
KALEIDOSCOPE
SIR DAVID BREWSTER (1781-1868)
Brewster was a Scottish inventor and scientist who gave the world the Kaleidoscope, a toy that would bring millions around the world a visually pleasing spectacle of twisting and turning colours and shapes.
‘Kaleidoscope’ comes from the Greek words 'kalos' meaning beautiful, 'eidos' meaning form, and 'scopos' meaning 'to watch'.
Although the kaleidoscope craze eventually faded, the object itself never disappeared. But the kaleidoscopes of Brewster’s own hand can still be found, preserved in glass cases at museums or in personal and private collections.
