Six lectures on light, a popular science book by John Tyndall, published in London by Longmans, Green and Co. in 1882, drawn from his 1872-1873 American lecture tour and aimed at general audiences. The four diagrams show laboratory apparatus for light experiments: a lamp with lens, polarizer and analyser, a prism, a concave mirror, and a magnetic field sketch. Their clean line drawings, with lettered parts and fine ray lines, suit a designer wanting schematic scientific diagrams.
