The deflection of during an eclipse was the first observation of lensing in the universe, but there would not be another for 60 years. However, in the 1930s, Fritz Zwicky predicted that galaxies and clusters of galaxies would make good gravitational lenses as well, in this prescient paper. (A)

The sources behind Zwicky's proposed lenses would be galaxies and their active nuclei, in the far distant universe; only in the last 30 years have such faint objects been detected in sufficient numbers to reveal the one in a thousand that are multiply-imaged. The first lensed quasar was confirmed in this paper. (A)

Quiescent galaxies are more numerous sources, but are even fainter than quasars: it would take the advent of CCD imaging cameras to detect the first gravitational arc. It was not clear what the arc was: a deep spectrum revealed it to be a background galaxy, observed at high magnification through the lens. (A)
