Electricity
Electricity by Kimball, published in 1888 and held by the Smithsonian Libraries, appears to be a science and technology history text, likely written for general or student readers. The single picture is a handwritten pencil sketch on lined paper showing a mechanical diagram of a gas-engine piston and spring linkage above a labelled pressure-volume curve with notes on work and heat, which suggests a designer could use its hand-drawn, schematic look for diagram or technical-sketch motifs.
