Work - The Illustrated Weekly Journal for Mechanics
Couldn't load pickup availability
Here are two really rare examples of the heavy, bound sets of this iconic journal of the late Victorian era.
Vols XVII from 1899, and XXII from 1902 feature every conceivable detail of the latest in swanky technology, inventions, engineering and machinery available on the market of the day.
These two beautifully cloth bound and illustrated volumes are full of products, prices and user guides, even accompanied by hand coloured sketches and how to plans... as bizarre as plans for a poultry house with loft - surely still a must have for every respectable household today!
Published by Cassell and Company, London
Cloth hardback, black embossed lettering, each book has 422 pp. 325mmx 250mm
Pre-owned. VG, minor spine damage but excellent for age
Sold as a set of two $350.
