Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies
This is a journal of the Association of Engineering Societies, published in New York in 1881 by its board of managers for engineers and members of the profession. Its pictures are rotated scans of technical plates: a grid-paper chart with plotted lines, a set of four graphs labelled as groups, a photographed street scene with a horse-drawn carriage, and a photograph of a curved tubular structure and a cylindrical vessel. A designer might take from them the precise linework of 19th-century engineering graphics and the grid-ruled layouts.
