A complete course of lithography: containing clear and explicit instructions in all the different branches and manners of that art: accompanied by illustrative specimens of drawings. To which is prefixed a history of lithography, from its origin to the present time
A 1819 London manual of lithography by Alois Senefelder, published by Rudolph Ackermann for artists and printers, with its history of the process prefixed. Its plates are rotated on the scan, but they show rustic buildings and mechanical drawings of press and apparatus. A designer might borrow the crisp, hand-drawn linework of the cottage views and the technical diagrams of the printing equipment as models for clear instructional graphics.
