Science conspectus
Science conspectus is a 1910 Boston survey of science published by the Society of Arts of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, compiled by Isaac W. Litchfield for general readers. Its photographs are plain documentary halftones in sepia tones: a dark cavity in rough rock, a volcano venting ash from a slope, a flat calm shoreline with a small island, and a building collapsed into rubble, useful to a designer for muted, earthy natural-disaster and geology imagery.
