Autistic people, did your special interest exist prior to the year 1800? If not, what would be the closest thing to it?

By exist, I mean something you’d be able to study. For example, dinosaurs existed well before 1800 but that doesn’t mean there was a good way for the layman to learn about them.

i guess it'd be a book series about an interdimensional... whatever the predecessor of a train is, because steam locomotives would've been just 5 years out. idk, did sci-fi writers talk about alternate dimensions yet?
