The Book of Universal Knowledge

Wintery Saturday afternoon at home left time for book restoration. This volume belongs to my brother-in-law, and was falling into pieces. Polyvinyl Acetate archival glue and a few bookbinding tools did the trick. It was illuminating to leaf through and see what the “superb library of the most valuable information” included in 1908.

Aerial Transportation! Submarine Navigation!

Wireless Telegraphy! The linotype machine!

The X-Ray! The Size of the whole universe!
