Amateur work, illustrated
Amateur work, illustrated is an 1881 handicraft manual published in London and New York by Ward, Lock & Co., written for home craftsmen working with tools and materials. Its pictures are plain line diagrams of woodworking and tinwork: numbered figures with dimensioned drawings, a tin can with a bent lever, a side-elevation of a trestle frame, and a stepped board edge, useful to a designer for technical line-drawing conventions and labelled measurement layouts.
