Photography
A nineteenth-century Getty Research Institute volume titled Photography, dated 1857, whose catalogue subjects cover photographic processing and the history of the medium; the pictures here are not photographs but engraved line illustrations of Greek ruins, a sculpted chariot relief, archers, and an Athenian coin, suggesting the book used drawings to stand in for objects. A designer might take the crisp hatched linework and the clean, unshaded outlines of classical subjects as a reference for monochrome engraving style.
