Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies
A journal of the Association of Engineering Societies, published in New York in 1881 by its board of managers for working engineers. The pictures are technical drawings: a survey profile with station numbers, plan views of foundations with buried water, sewer and conduit pipes, and a cross-section of an excavated earthwork. A designer could take from them the clean, labelled line-drawing style of nineteenth-century engineering plates.
