520 1 $a"We live in an age of convenience. Housework is made easier by machines like sewing machines and dishwashers, houses and streets are artificially lit with electric light bulbs, and in our leisure time we listen to the radio or capture photographic images of our lives on camera. We take all of these aids to modern living for granted, and assume them to be recent inventions. Yet they were all developed in the 19th century, in an era very different from our own." "Inventing the 19th Century chronicles this period of enormous technological change by examining the history of the 100 most important, innovative, and memorable inventions of the 19th century. Using illustrations of the original patent drawings from The British Library's extensive collection, Stephen van Dulken paints a vivid picture of the Victorian Age, highlighting inventions from the ground-breaking - such as aspirin, dynamite, and the telephone - to the everyday - like denim jeans and tiddlywinks."--Jacket.
