Magnetism
A handwritten manuscript page of dense cursive text on the left faces a diagram page on the right, showing hand-drawn curved arcs, a horizontal baseline with letters and numbers, and crossing lines, likely a geometric or magnetic field construction. The record gives Bern Dibner as the author with a date of 1837 and no place, so this is a Smithsonian Libraries scan of a historical science notebook for a general reader. A designer might take the sparse ink linework, the aged paper tones, and the mix of script and technical lettering as a model for scientific ephemera.
