Vintage-style scientific illustration of a disassembled object with three components labeled "a," "b," and "c," against an aged paper background. Component "a" appears to be the main body of the object with helical ridges, "b" is a shadowy, textured shape, and "c" is a smaller, separate piece with matching ridges. The image has a numbered label "12" in the top right corner, suggesting it is part of a series or collection.
A vintage photograph of an old-fashioned electrical plug with a cord, displayed against a beige background. The plug is centrally located with its cord extending to the left, and a detached piece lies below it to the right, labeled with a 'b'. The main body of the plug is labeled with an 'a'. The image has a numbered marking '16' in the top right corner.
Vintage illustration of various mechanical parts, possibly from a patent application, displayed against an aged paper background. The parts include a central hexagonal piece with multiple connectors and several separate components that appear to interlock with the central piece.
Vintage illustration of various wire puzzles on an aged paper background, including a wire hanger labeled 'a', two complex interlocking wire puzzles labeled 'b' and 'd', and a wire knot puzzle labeled 'c'. Each puzzle is intricately designed and the image has a scientific or patent drawing aesthetic.
Vintage illustration featuring a collection of botanical specimens, which upon closer inspection are actually intricately designed electrical components and connectors resembling plant life, displayed on an aged paper background.
Vintage illustration featuring a collection of black objects including a coiled telephone cord, a bow made of ribbon, and various beads, displayed against an aged paper background with handwritten numbers and letters indicating each item.
An assortment of electronic cables and adapters is arranged on a vintage-looking paper background. The cables are splayed out, with various connectors visible, including USB and other types. There are handwritten numbers next to each item, suggesting a cataloging or instructional purpose. The paper has a torn edge on the right side and is marked with the number '16' in the top right corner.
A vintage illustration depicting a collection of circular objects, possibly scientific specimens or artistic representations, arranged on a faded paper background. The objects vary in size and are numbered, suggesting they are part of a study or exhibit.
Vintage illustration of an early telephone receiver with separate earpiece and mouthpiece connected by cords, alongside exploded-view diagrams and component sketches on aged paper.
Vintage-style illustration of medical equipment, including a syringe and other tools, on an aged paper background with numbered labels.
