Résumé / Abstract : Almost two hundred years ago the teenage John Phillips (1800-1875), who would achieve fames as a geologist, became fascinated by the emerging process of lithography. In the notebook transcribed and reproduced in facsimile here, Phillips recorded the experiments he made in the process between 1817 and 1819... The records of these experiments provide insights into the mind and working methods of a young scientist, while also revealing something about the state of lithography in Britain at the time [Source : jaquette]
