WILLEM JAKOB VAN GRAVESANDE (1688-1742)
Gravesande wrote his ‘Mathematical Elements of Natural Philosophy' a description of a ‘Magic Lantern’ with an oil lamp, which had 4 flames (Book III, pp97,99. Etching of Gravesande by J. Houbraken, after a drawing by J. Wandelaar.
From ‘Mathematical Elements of Natural Philosophy, Confirm'd by Experiments; or, An Introduction to Sir Issac Newton's Philosophy’ in 1721, here are the Gravesande entries on pp98 and 99. He does not provide an illustration of the 4-flame lamp.
From ‘Mathematical Elements of Natural Philosophy, Confirm'd by Experiments; or, An Introduction to Sir Issac Newton's Philosophy’, Willem Gravesande, 1721, we see on pp66, 104, 106, 120 his illustrations of projecting lanterns, pinhole imagery, prisms and the Camera Obscura.

I love how on p99 Gravesande states
"Optic Writers have not altogether pafs'd bv, but yet have not fufficiently explain’d."
Referring to the Magic Lantern!
So he goes on to do just that. -30-
