Beschreibung von der Ausgrabung und merkwürdigen Fortschaffung des ungeheuren über 3 Millionen Pfund wiegenden Felsen worauf die Bildsäule Peter des Grossen errichtet ward
This 1823 German account, published in Germany and aimed at engineers and general readers, describes excavating and hauling the enormous granite boulder that carried the Peter the Great statue in St Petersburg. Its pictures are plain line engravings: a library seal with a heraldic shield, a red wax seal impression, and a large flat transport sledge with men and ropes, which suit a designer looking for period technical diagrams and heavy-load machinery.
