Amateur work, illustrated
Amateur work, illustrated is a 1881 London and New York handicraft manual from Ward, Lock & Co., aimed at home workshop hobbyists doing woodworking and related practical crafts. The pictures are plain line drawings of joinery and tools: a wheel pit with spokes, a plane's plan view, a decorative scrolled panel elevation with section, and a bench knife with clamp. A designer could draw on their clean technical diagram style, crisp hatching, and scale-annotated layouts.
