Synopsis
1975, oversize trade paperback reprint edition (of a work first published in 1971 in Holland) this edition in English, John Murray, London, U.K. 192 pages. An absolute gas of a book, beautifully published, 192 total vintage illustrations. Includes Victorian-era inventions in the fields of: transport, electricity, optics, a new gizmo called the telephone, and miscellaneous new gee-whizzes, which offered society something to think about. This era, sometimes referred to as the explosive age of invention, gives us: "flying machines, electricity, photography, cinematography, the x-ray, telephone, phonographs, typewriters, the engineering of the Eiffel Tower, and the Brooklyn and Forth Bridges, underground travel, gas, steam, and electric locomotion, and contrivances for life-saving, beauty, health and talking dolls." Absolutely wonderful.
