Flame, electricity and the camera; man's progress from the first kindling of fire to the wireless telegraph and the photography of color
A popular history of technology by George Iles, published in New York by Doubleday & McClure in 1900, tracing fire, electricity and photography for general adult readers. The plates are line engravings of apparatus—coherers, induction coils, ring armatures between magnet poles, lens-and-tube assemblies—drawn in clean outline with hatched shading, lettered part keys and arrows for current flow, useful as diagram stock, technical ornament or cutaway drawing reference.
