The Technologist
The Technologist is an 1861 London periodical published by Kent & Co. for a general readership interested in technology, as its subject heading indicates. Its engraved pictures are small black-and-white line plates: a machine diagram with brass fittings, a dome with a lantern and finial, a cross-section of rope or cable, and numbered figures of a man in reclining exercise positions. A designer might take the crisp hatching and cross-hatching of these plates as a model for technical line illustration.
