Markham's farewel to husbandry, or, The enriching of all sorts of barren and sterile grounds in our nation ... : together with the annoyances, and preservation of all grain and seed, from one year to many years : as also a husbandly computation of men and cattels daily labours, their expences, charges, and utmost profits
Gervase Markham's 1676 London agricultural manual, printed for G. Sawbridge, offers practical advice to English farmers on improving poor soil, storing grain, and computing labour and costs. The woodcut illustrations are small, crude, and schematic, showing farm implements and devices in plain outline, which a designer could use as simple, rough-hewn graphic motifs.
