The INTERNET Database of Periodic Tables
There are thousands of periodic tables in web space, but this is the only comprehensive database of periodic tables & periodic system formulations. If you know of an interesting periodic table that is missing, please contact the database curator: Mark R. Leach Ph.D. The database holds information on periodic tables, the discovery of the elements, the elucidation of atomic weights and the discovery of atomic structure (and much, much more).
Periodic Tables from the year 1891 :
| 1891 | Mendeleev's Properties of The Chemical Elements |
| 1891 | Mendeleev's Table In English |
| 1891 | Wendt's Generation-Tree of the Elements |
| Year: 1891 | PT id = 11, Type = misc |
Mendeleev's Properties of The Chemical Elements
Scanned from the first English edition of Dmitrii Mendeleev's Principles of Chemistry (translated from the Russian fifth edition) a table showing the periodicity of the properties of many chemical elements, taken from the Wikipedia from where a 2116 x 2556 version is available, or here.

| Year: 1891 | PT id = 954, Type = formulation |
Mendeleev's Table In English
A table, from Wikipedia, showing the periodicity of the properties of many chemical elements, from the first English edition of Dmitrii Mendeleev's Principles of Chemistry (1891, translated from the Russian fifth edition).
It is worth noting that this 1981 formulation shows the presence of gallium and germanium that were not his original table.
| Year: 1891 | PT id = 1140, Type = formulation |
Wendt's Generation-Tree of the Elements
From page 244 of The Development of the Periodic Law by Venable, Francis Preston (1856-1934), Easton, Pa. Chemical Pub. Co (1896). The full text (scanned) is available from archive.org.
