730 pages.
Description: Brown hard cover. (No dust jacket.) Gold embossing. Illustrated with photos and drawings. Detailed index. This volume is rare, and sells elsewhere for $47.00 and up.
From the Preface: "Our aim in the preparation of this work on Optic Projection has been to explain the underlying principles on which the art depends, and to give such simple and explicit directions that any intelligent person can succeed in all the fields of projection; and our hope is that the book will serveto make more general this graphic art by means of which many persons can be appealed to at the same time and in the most striking manner. Furthermore, we believe that this art has great undeveloped possibilities for giving pleasure, arousing interest and kindling enthusiasm, in that it provides for the rapid demonstration of maps, diagrams, and pictures of all kinds, the structure and development of animals and plants, many of the actual phenomena of physics and chemistry, and finally scenes from nature and from life, even with their natural motions and colors."
From the Introduction: "In the following pages, Projection Apparatus of various forms and with various sources of light have been considered from a three-fold standpoint: (1) The standpoint of the actual user of the apparatus; (2) The standpoint of the manufacturer; (3) The standpoint of the student for whom an understanding of the principles involved is of fundamental importance."
