The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, first issued in 1666 in London by the Royal Society, was a learned journal of natural philosophy written for scientists and curious readers. Its pictures are hand-drawn: a geometric construction with labelled points and circles, a faint sketch of a lamp and a fish-like form on a blank page, and a grid of tinted sample dots in ruled columns, offering a designer plain diagrams, measured tables and muted sepia paper tones.
