A practical recipe manual of pigments, dyes, varnishes, gilding, japanning and glassmaking, printed and sold by William Spotswood in Philadelphia in 1793 for tradesmen and household readers. Illustration is limited to small letterpress woodcut diagrams of vessels and suspended apparatus keyed with letters, set inside ruled boxes, alongside foxed laid paper and worn eighteenth-century type that designers can lift as textures, spot diagrams and reference marks.
