Boyd's directory of the District of Columbia
Boyd's directory of the District of Columbia is a city directory published in Washington, D.C. by W.H. Boyd in 1877, listing residents and businesses of the capital for local readers and merchants. Its advertisement pictures are small wood-engraved woodcuts of boots, a horse-drawn carriage, and a valve with a handwheel, showing dense hatching and clear outlines a designer could adapt for vintage trade signage.
