Graphics : a manual of drawing and writing, for the use of schools and families
A drawing and penmanship manual by Rembrandt Peale, published in Philadelphia in 1838 for schools and family use. Its pictures are plain geometric and line diagrams: a circle inscribed in a square and in a hexagon, S-curves with dashed construction lines, and a few sample strokes. A designer might take from them a clear method for building curves and proportions from simple guide lines.
