Des Freyherrn von Hofmann ... Abhandlung über die Eisenhütten
A German-language treatise on ironworks by a Freiherr von Hofmann, printed by Vierling and held by the Eisenbibliothek Schlatt, written for ironmasters and foundry engineers. The pictures are small woodcut-style headpieces and tailpieces of baroque scrollwork, putti and garden motifs, plus a few plain ink plans of a coal shed with roof trusses and wall dimensions, useful for designers seeking historic ornament and technical drafting.
