Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies
A periodical of the Association of Engineering Societies, published in 1881 in New York by its Board of Managers for American civil and mechanical engineers. The pictures are halftone photographs and line drawings of construction work: a masonry wall with timber shoring, a pipe-and-valve fitting, furnace sections, and an arch bridge under construction. A designer might draw on their raw industrial texture, the grey tonal range of old halftones, and the exposed timber falsework.
