Topographical drawing and sketching : including applications of photography

Reed, Henry A. (Henry Albert), 1844-1930 author · 1888 · New York : John Wiley & Sons, 15 Astor Place · 21 pictures

Henry A. Reed's 1888 manual on topographical drawing and sketching, published in New York by John Wiley & Sons, covers surveying and photographic methods for military and engineering draftsmen. The pictures are plain line diagrams of sight lines, projection rays and perspective boxes, drawn in thin black strokes on cream paper, offering a designer a clear model for schematic technical figures and radiating construction geometry.
