Mind-reading and beyond
Mind-reading and beyond is a late nineteenth-century American book on telepathy, published in Boston and New York in 1885 and aimed at general readers curious about the subject. Its pictures are simple line drawings of loose shapes, such as curves, triangles, rectangles and spirals, apparently used as test figures for thought transfer, drawn in hand-inked strokes on cream paper, which a designer might take from as minimal diagrammatic abstraction.
