Electricity one hundred years ago and to-day
A popular history of electrical science by Edwin J. Houston, published in New York by the W. J. Johnston Co. in 1894 for general and technical readers. Halftone reproductions of early apparatus sit in torn-edged vignettes with heavy black grounds, beside line drawings of wooden-framed friction machines and coil frames; useful for irregular photo masks, dense stipple textures and diagrammatic machine outlines.
