Tesla’s London Lectures, 1892

[Tesla] “Mr. Tesla’s Lectures on Alternate Currents of High Potential and Frequency”, in Nature, volume 45, February 11, 1892, no. 1163, pp 345-7 in the weekly issue of pp 337-360. Offered with the original wrappers, including the cover plus 7pp of ads. This is extracted from a larger bound volume, ex-library from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory , with their small oval rubber stamp in the upper corner of the front cover. Its a nice copy though it does have an old, mostly faded, vertical fold through the text.  The article runs around 2500 words and includes two reviews of the lecture(s), which overflow crowds enjoyed over two days at the Royal Institution.  Good, solid copy, with the uncommon wrappers.  $200
