Overview

Heath and Wing were instrument and book sellers in London in the mid 18th century. They had various technical books printed for sale in their shop. These books had a catalog of their instruments bound into the back.

The instruments include tools for surveying, drawing, navigation, physics research and demonstration. This gives a glimpse into the current state of technology and various sciences.
