Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies
A periodical of the Association of Engineering Societies, published in New York by its Board of Managers in 1881 for engineers and members of the profession, with its plates reproduced from a Smithsonian Libraries copy. The four pictures are rotated photographic plates: a railway station yard and its platforms, a wooden trestle bridge seen from below with crossed diagonal bracing, and a rock-cut tunnel mouth in a hillside. A designer might take their strong receding perspectives, dense lattice structure and sepia photographic tone as material for industrial or transport imagery.
