Proceedings of the Alabama Industrial and Scientific Society
This is a proceedings volume issued in 1891 at Tuscaloosa by the Alabama Industrial and Scientific Society, a regional body concerned with mineral industries and mining. Its pictures are plain black-line engineering drawings of furnace or kiln structures: a side elevation, a front view with dimensioned brickwork, a sectional profile, and a cross section with figured measurements. A designer might take from them the precise technical linework, hatched masonry patterns, and dimension-callout typography of late nineteenth-century industrial drafting.
