		Draper’s research in the effect of light upon chemicals led him to take up photography.
		His son, Henry Draper, 1837–82, was a physician by vocation, but he made major contributions in the field of astronomical photography and spectroscopy.

		The Drapers' Company is one of the great livery companies of the city of London.
		The Drapers' Gild was one of the numerous subdivisions of the clothing trade, and appeared to have been confined to the retailing of woollen cloths, the linendrapers forming in the 15th century a separate fraternity, which disappeared or was merged in the greater company.
		Adams (reported in The Times, London, Nov. 20, 1908), the term "drapery" in a restrictive covenant was held not to include all goods that a draper might sell, such as furs or fur-lined goods.

		Draper admitted: "The risk of failure by employing an uncorrected [chromatic] lens, is greater than the risk by a good achromatic, or a reflector".

	Draper, John William (1811-1882)
		On the theoretical level, Draper was one of the earliest to grasp that only those rays that are absorbed produce chemical change and that not all rays are equally powerful in their effect.
		He also, in a series of papers, showed that the amount of chemical change is proportional to the intensity of the absorbed radiation multiplied by the time it has to act.
		Draper's work was continued and largely confirmed by the work of Robert Bunsen and Henry Roscoe in 1857.

		Draper set up a partnership with Samuel Morse, a colleague at New York University.
		Draper and Morse have also been credited with the discovery that since the exposures were long, there would be no harm in blinking, so the eyes could be kept open - something that other photographers of their time had not grasped.

		Draper also created a second antithesis to strengthen his claim that Christianity in general, and Roman Catholicism in particular, was anti-science: the Creation and evolution antithesis, with revelation on one side, and science in an apparently mutually exclusive opposite position.
		Draper argued that the assertion of Papal Infallibility was an attempt to regain power amidst worries that the Pope might lose power in political upheavals.
		Draperâ™s presentation was deemed to be unfair â“ he did not (since he was aiming at a popular audience) reference his work, but tried to teach as one with authority, so his questionable assertions carried no external support or justification.

		The books that first appeared, as William Swinton’s Campaigns of the Army of the Potomac (1866) and Horace Greeley’s American Conflict (2 vols., 1864–66), were tinged with prejudice, however much the authors strove to keep it down.

	Draper, Henry (1837-1882)
		The son of John William Draper, he trained to be a medical doctor but, because he completed all of his medical courses at New York University by the age of 20, he traveled in Europe for a year until he was old enough to graduate.
		By 1873 he had produced a spectrograph that was similar to the visual spectroscope of William Huggins; he clarified the spectral lines by using a slit and incorporating a reference spectra so that elements could be identified more easily.
		The spectroscopic studies of Huggins and Norman Lockyer in Europe stimulated Draper's research and during the last years of his life he worked toward acquiring high quality spectra of celestial objects.

		The history of science is not a mere record of isolated discoveries; it is a narrative of the conflict of two contending powers, the expansive force of the human intellect on one side, and the compression arising from traditionary faith and human interest on the other.
		The very fact that the subject was so generally familiar, and yet so little was accurately known about it, made it the more enticing; there were plenty of descriptions from which to choose, and yet most of them were so hazy that their support could be claimed for many varying theories.
		For wide and various as their subjects are, it will be found that they have all certain principles, maxims, and rules of procedure in common; and thus may reflect light upon each other by being treated together.
