Photographs and descriptions of various kinds of engines [ca. 1916]
A photographic album of engines compiled around 1916, apparently by a United States government or institutional body, documenting machine types for reference. Its pictures are sepia studio photographs of single machines on plain backgrounds, with handwritten labels, so a designer can study the mechanical forms and lettering of early industrial equipment.
