A 1894 New York manual from E. & H.T. Anthony & Co. by Edward M. Estabrooke explaining how to make ferrotypes, also called tintypes, for photographers and studio operators. Its pictures are plain wood-engraved views of boxed cameras, plate holders and a developing box, with clean line hatching a designer could borrow for vintage technical diagrams.
