Abstract

The hologram is a spectacular invention of the modern era: an innocuous artefact that can miraculously generate three-dimensional imagery. Yet this modern experience has deep roots. Holograms are part of a long lineage; the ability to generate visual ‘shock and awe’ has, in fact, been an important feature of new optical technologies over the past century and a half.
