Manuale di litografia, o sia, Istruzione teorico-pratica pel disegnatore e per lo stampatore litografo
An Italian manual of lithography published in Milan in 1828 by Felice Rusconi, adapting French and German sources for draftsmen and printers working in stone. The pictures are plain line engravings of equipment, mostly rotated on the page: a wooden press with a large handwheel, pans and spoons, scrapers and brushes, and a press beside a stone-storage bench. A designer might take from them the clean, technical diagram style used to show machinery and tools in step-by-step instruction.
