The practice of hand-turning in wood, ivory, shell, etc. : with instructions for turning such works in metal as may be required in the practice of turning in wood, ivory, etc. : also, an appendix on ornamental turning : a book for beginners
Francis Campin's 1868 London manual from E. & F.N. Spon teaches amateur and beginner craftsmen hand-turning in wood, ivory and shell, with metalwork instructions and an appendix on ornamental turning. The pictures are plain line drawings of cutting tools, a lathe-mounted spindle and tool, and a rosette of wavy concentric rings, showing precise geometric linework a designer could adapt for patterns or technical diagrams.
