Invention and discovery
A popular account of inventors and their discoveries, written by Ralph and Chandos Temple and published by Groombridge in London in 1865 for young and general readers. The plates are full-page wood engravings, several signed by their engravers, showing cramped workshop and cottage interiors lit from a single hearth or window, men in eighteenth-century and Victorian dress in mid-conversation, and shepherds pointing across open country \u2014 useful for figure groupings, heavy cross-hatched shadow, and scattered tool still lifes.
