The Artisan, or, Mechanic's instructor : containing a popular, comprehensive and systematic view of the following sciences ... also biographical notices of eminent scientific men, enriched by portraits : with many interesting and valuable articles relating to the mechanical and useful arts : the whole intended as a companion to the institutes
The Artisan, or Mechanic's Instructor, compiled by George G. Carey and published in London in 1825, was a popular engineering and science manual meant as a companion to the Institutes for working mechanics. Its pictures are plain geometric diagrams with lettered points, showing angles, circles, tangents and parallelograms drawn in clean black line, useful for a designer seeking simple technical schematic structure.
