Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies
This journal from the Association of Engineering Societies, published in 1881 in New York by its board of managers, served American engineers and was preserved by the Smithsonian Libraries. Its plates are rotated scans of engineering views, including a waterfront with a steamship, a cribbed river bank, a street map of Detroit beside the river, and a riverside city elevation, showing how technical drawings record real sites in plan and perspective.
