A folder containing 26 sheets of paper, each bear one drawing; 12 sheets bear drawings numbered 1-35, 45-53, 81-142. In 1827 English architect and engineer Peter Hubert Desvignes developed his "Speiragraph", a machine to create elaborate spiral drawings, intended to prevent bank note forgeries. Later, mathematician Bruno Abakanowicz invented the Spirograph between 1881 and 1900.
