The architectural annual
The Architectural Annual is a 1900 Philadelphia architectural yearbook compiled by Albert Kelsey for the Architectural League of America, presenting professional architects' work to the trade. Its pictures are measured architectural drawings: plans, elevations and sections of façades, ornament and interiors, drawn in clean linework with lettered titles. A designer could borrow their precise draughtsman's grids, classical orders and proportional layouts for editorial or identity work.
