Vintage scientific papers with LaTeX

Twenty small examples show independent mechanisms behind a convincing old-scientific-paper aesthetic. Each file is deliberately standalone: copy one, compile it, and remove individual effects to see what they contribute.

The examples fall into three groups: pure LaTeX pages (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 10 to 14), standalone fiziko MetaPost figures (3, 7, 8, 9), and LaTeX pages with fiziko figures drawn inside them by LuaTeX's built-in MetaPost (15 to 20).
