Gately's World's Progress. A general history of the earth's construction and of the advancement of mankind ... Edited by C. E. Beale. Édition de luxe
A one-volume popular history of civilization and invention, edited by Charles E. Beale and published by Gately & Co. in 1886 as an édition de luxe for American subscription buyers. Wood-engraved figures show machines in three-quarter view on plain grounds — sole-sewing and mortising machines, a tower clock movement, a stocking-frame with its operator — giving clean mechanical silhouettes, cast-iron frames and hatched shading.
