Amateur work, illustrated
Amateur work, illustrated is a 1881 handicraft manual published by Ward, Lock & Co. in London and New York, written for home workshop hobbyists. Its pictures are numbered technical drawings of a double hung window with case, a draining rack, field magnets with an armature, and a workbench detail, drawn in fine hatched line with dimensioned sections. A designer could draw on their clean measured diagrams and hatching for schematic or instructional graphics.
