Inside Out Library

Electricity for everybody; its nature and uses explained

Atkinson, Philip · 1895 · New York, The Century Co. · 87 pictures

A popular science primer by Philip Atkinson, published by The Century Co. in New York in 1895 to explain electricity and its applications to general readers. The wood-engraved figures show cutaway coils, arc-lamp carbons with radiating spark lines, battery jars and bench apparatus, rendered in dense hatching and ruled shading that suits cut-out diagram collage and line-art reuse.
