Amateur work, illustrated
Amateur work, illustrated is a 1881 handicraft manual published in London and New York by Ward, Lock & Co., aimed at home workshop hobbyists. Its pictures are precise line engravings of lathe chucks, rests, burnishers, a box, a machine with a rotating frame, and a conical tool, showing mechanical parts in clean technical detail that a designer could borrow for vintage engineering motifs, diagrams, or schematic line art.
