Description of an artificial hand
A short 1845 London treatise by the baronet and aeronautical pioneer George Cayley, printed by Tyler and Reed, that describes an artificial hand. The three faint plates are pale engraved plates with no text visible, showing a large curved wing-like frame with a small car, a cruciform layout of arms and blades, and a two-balloon airship assembly with rigging. A designer might take from them the spare, mechanical draughtsmanship of early Victorian engineering diagrams.
