Abstract
The development of publishers' book bindings in the late nineteenth century led to an explosion of bright, decorative covers for popular science and technology books. These examples of science and graphic art for the masses represented natural
phenomena and the latest technical advances. The exhibition highlights 'bright sparks' in astronomy, Earth sciences,
engineering, electricity and aeronautics. All the examples were taken from the collections of the Science Museum Library.
