The art of engraving : a practical treatise on the engravers' art, with special reference to letter and monogram engraving : specially compiled as a text-book for students and reference book and guide for engravers

1904 · Philadelphia : The Keystone · 36 pictures

A 1904 Philadelphia text-book by an unnamed compiler for students and working engravers, covering letter and monogram engraving as a practical guide. The pictures are ornamental monograms built from interlaced letterforms, with scrollwork, fleurs and hatched shading, plus one diagram labelled Fig. 115 showing a rounded form with spiral and hatched bands; a designer could draw on the interlacing and the mix of line and stipple shading for monogram layouts.
