Curiosities of heat

Tefft, Lyman B · 1871 · Philadelphia : Bible and Publication Society · 6 pictures

A popular science reader on heat written by Lyman B. Tefft and issued in 1871 by the Bible and Publication Society in Philadelphia for young students and Sunday-school libraries. Wood engravings by Van Ingen-Snyder work as chapter headpieces that set hand-drawn display words like "Heat" inside oval or circular vignettes—Swiss chalet, tropical volcano, a locomotive in falling snow, men tending steam machinery—useful for lettering-in-landscape layouts and cross-hatched scenic frames.
