Notes and observations on various subjects connected with artillery
An 1815 manuscript notebook of artillery notes and observations on gunnery, drill and practice, compiled for the British Army's artillery, held in the Smithsonian Libraries collection. Its hand-painted watercolour plates show a cannon barrel, a gun carriage with spoked wheels on a green field, and a page diagram of bullet casting with cartridge-making tools, drawn in a plain technical manner with muted washes that a designer could use for vintage military or engineering diagram motifs.
