vortoscope1917

1917 E. Pound Let. 24 Jan. (1950) 104 The vortescope [sic] isn't a cinema. It is an attachment to enable a photographer to do sham Picassos. That sarcastic definition probably covers the ground.

1966 A. L. Coburn Autobiogr. ix. 102 I aspired to make abstract pictures with the camera. For this purpose I devised the Vortoscope late in 1916. This instrument is composed of three mirrors fastened together in the form of a triangle... The mirrors act as a prism splitting the image formed by the lens into segments.

1982 M. Harker in M. Weaver Alvin Langdon Coburn 2 He made a Vortoscope in 1916. Based on the principles of the kaleidoscope the instrument was composed of three mirrors fastened together in the form of a triangle.
