[SCIENCE]
La Physique Illustrée ou exposition facile des principes de cette science et de leurs rapports avec ses applications concernant les propriétés générales des matières, la statique, la mécanique, l'hydrostatique, les gaz, la théorie de la lumière, du son
A fine copy of this imaginative work on physics. The eleven plates have a marvellous sense of whimsy and are reminiscent of children's teaching boards. Each plate deals with a single field such as acoustics, light, electricity, optics, and magnetism with multiple illustrations.
