Ganot, A. (Adolphe), 1804-1887 · 1898 · London, Longmans, Green · 18 pictures

Ganot's Elementary Treatise on Physics, a late nineteenth-century textbook by French physicist Adolphe Ganot, published in London in 1898 for college and school students. Its pictures are plain engraved line drawings of laboratory and demonstration apparatus, including a tube with a sealed bulb, a bench optics setup, a graduated balance-beam scale and a hand-cranked wheel machine, all drawn with clean outlines and crosshatched shading that a designer could borrow for technical diagrams or retro scientific infographics.
