A ready-made antique science junk journal kit of 20 printable engraved plates of 18th-century scientific instruments, from the Dutch edition (Amsterdam, 1759) of Abbé Jean-Antoine Nollet's celebrated Leçons de physique expérimentale: electrical machines with great wheels and glass globes, glowing electric rays, air pumps and vacuum receivers, barometers and thermometers, pendulums, a quadrant, siphons and fountains, hydrostatic balances and whole cabinets of brass and glass apparatus. Fine copperplate lines and plate numbers make them perfect for dark-academia, steampunk and science journals, collage, planners, scrapbooking, card making and wall art.

Print sizes at 300 dpi (they vary by piece type; files are never resized):
• Engraved physics plates (20): about 13 × 17 in up to 15 × 17 in, big enough for A4 / letter prints and framing
Everything also prints smaller (A5, A6, tags, ATCs) with no loss.
