An extremely unusual book I stumbled upon during my dissertation research. It was published in 1824 and is an insight into early research into the obscure. The handwritten notes on the particular copy published on google also add further insight with notes including such observations as 'parallel world' and various underlining, highlighting and scrawling suggesting a previous reader applying these unusual studies to their own research.

These sorts of areas of unusual inquiry and the notion of a Cabinet of Curiosities is key to our installation. We will be including a similar variety of obscure sources in our characters research, displayed within the installation. In the same way that this example is crudely marked by a reader, we will mark books and other sources as a way of relating them to the three machines and blueprints.
