Keyser, Peter Dirck, 1835-1897, author · 1879 · [Philadelphia?] : [publisher not given] · 1 picture

A report by Peter Dirck Keyser, read to the Pennsylvania State Medical Society in 1879, on testing railroad workers for colour blindness, probably printed in Philadelphia. The picture is a plate of a curved, rounded wooden or leather-like shape with a row of small studs or rivets, shown beside a hand, with a blue library stamp in the corner that a designer can ignore. The engraved forms are plain and mechanical, with clean hatching and a tactile, sculptural quality that could suit industrial or instructional graphics.
