Please contact me if you know any of this information is incorrect or if you have any other information that should be added. Thank you. ********** 1893 As far as I know this design first appears in 'L'Illustration' 2617 of 22nd April 1893. It was subsequently republished in Volume 3 of 'La Science Amusante' by Tom Tit (real name Arthur Good), which was also published in 1893. ********** 1918 This effect appears as 'The Maximum Envelope' in 'Scientific Amusements' (an English translation of some of the material from volumes 2 and 3 of 'La Science Amusante' by Tom Tit) which was published by Thomas Nelson and Sons Ltd in London in 1918.
