A technical drawing manual by Benjamin P. Wilme, published in London in 1846 for civil engineers, architects, surveyors and military and naval academies. Plates and woodcuts demonstrate map conventions: hachured hill shading, layered contour tinting in green and ochre, sea water-lines drawn in graded parallels, and lettered place-names stretched along coasts and roads — usable as texture patterns, terrain motifs and lettering models.
