Beautiful Engineering Ad, 1876

JF Ptak Science Books  Quick Post

This beautiful ad appeared in the middle of The Engineer, published in London on 14 July 1876. John Fowler & Co. sold all manner of steam machinery for agricultural and mining purposes, as we can see in the little drawings that illustrate the ad--and particularly the mining scene, which shows the Fowler machinery above and below ground. The original ad is about 5"x7"--the little mine shaft at bottom is only a few millimeters.
