Désiré-Henry Vuibert (21 August 1857 – 27 November 1945) was a French mathematician and publisher of technical books and journals, and founder of the French publishing house Vuibert . [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]: 780
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]
