Our race : its origin and its destiny
An 1892 New Haven, Connecticut work by Charles Adiel Lewis Totten, published by Robert Banks & Son, presenting a religious argument about the origin and future of the human race in the Anglo-Israelist and Second Advent tradition. The pictures are plain black-and-white line diagrams on tinted paper: a mountain-and-water elevation chart with tabulated figures, a radial dial labelled with hours and 'and there was light', and a hemisphere map with meridian grid lines. A designer might draw on their schematic clarity, labelled radial and grid layouts, and tabular annotation style.
