Harper, Edgar Henry, Ferguson, Allan, b. 1880 · 1911 · Cambridge : The University press · 2 pictures

A short technical primer on aeronautics written by Edgar Henry Harper and Allan Ferguson for the Cambridge University Press in 1911, aimed at students and general readers following the early years of powered flight. The indexed pages are letterpress text blocks on toned paper, showing old-style serif type, wide leading and inset diagram references — useful as period typography samples and scanned paper texture.
