Die Akustik
Die Akustik is a German treatise on acoustics by Ernst Chladni, published in Leipzig by Breitkopf und Härtel in 1802 and held by the Wellcome Library. The one picture is a bookplate on marbled endpaper, showing a heraldic coat of arms above the printed name Edward Henry Scott. A designer might take from it the pairing of a crisp engraved crest with a vivid, swirled marbled paper ground in pink, green, and blue.
