The dry cleaner and garment dyer
The Dry Cleaner and Garment Dyer is a trade manual from 1891, compiled by Frederick J. Bird, for dyers, cleaners, hotels and laundries. Its pictures are plain wood engravings of pressing and drying equipment, with clean line work, dense cross-hatching on iron and metal surfaces, and labelled machines that a designer could borrow for vintage industrial diagrams.
