Description:

A woman's hand is seen with a napkin ring spinning around the tip of her forefinger and kept in suspension by the centrifugal force generated by her circular hand movement.

The caption reads in the original French: Rond de serviette soulevé par un rapide mouvement de rotation. — Force centrifuge et résistance de frottement.

Caption taken from the English edition titled Popular scientific recreations in natural philosophy, astronomy, geology, chemistry. London: Ward, Lock, and Co., n.d. [ca. 1882].
