Chemical reports and memoirs ...
This is a Victorian chemistry anthology of translated papers and memoirs, issued in London in 1848 by the Cavendish Society under editor Thomas Graham, with George Edward Day and Friedrich Julius Otto among its contributors, for working chemists and scientific readers. The pictures are mostly technical: a ruled crystal diagram with labelled faces, a fold-out plate of laboratory apparatus with lettered figures, a woodcut-style portrait of a bearded man at work beside a sculpted figure, and a single bent glass tube. A designer might draw on the precise line diagrams and the bold blue woodcut for scientific or period print motifs.
