Henry Vuibert Explained

Désiré-Henry Vuibert (21 August 185727 November 1945) was a French mathematician and publisher of technical books and journals, and founder of the French publishing house .[1] [2] He was a publisher of the same class as Louis Hachette and Pierre Larousse, and is said to have begun his company in 1876.[3]

His book Les Anaglyphes geometriques described "Vuibert's principle of anaglyphic vision" based on a "procedure invented by Louis Ducos du Houron, which consisted in printing, in superimposition, pairs of stereoscopic views, taken in complementary colors".[4] This book and the concepts therein are said to have "inspired Marcel Duchamp's interest in anaglyphs".[5] Les Anaglyphes geometriques "set the standard" for representation of 3D in two dimensions and offered a "grand tour of shape" that influenced both artists and mathematicians alike.[6]

Also, according to one account, it was Vuibert, not Eutaris, who first worked out what is now called a Taylor circle.[7]
