The Laboratory, or School of Arts is a 1799 London compendium of recipes, experiments and manual operations in the industrial arts, compiled by Godfrey Smith for practical craftsmen and home experimenters. Its plates are numbered engravings of geometric perspective diagrams, glassware and apparatus, and objects with fine hatching and cross-section views a designer could borrow for technical line illustration.
