You might also take a look at Albert Boni's extensive bibliography 
PHOTOGRAPHIC LITERATURE, 1960-1970.  I have a copy but it's 4000 miles 
from where I am so I can't check it at the moment and what I have here 
is Boni's first bibliography that covers the period prior to 1960.  Not 
surprisingly there is no mention of rear projection in Boni's first 
work.  --g
