• Resumen

  • Most of the 19th- and early 20th-century physics texts in my collection have frontispieces: a telegraph system, the cross-section of a steam locomotive, colored lithographs of spectra, etc. One of my favorites is the wood-cut illustration of an apparatus collection that serves as the frontispiece to Hotzes 1897 physics textbook.1In modern parlance, this is a conceptual text as it does not have a single equation.
