Linear drawing and lettering for beginners
A self-published instruction manual on mechanical drawing and lettering, written and issued by J. C. L. Fish in Palo Alto, California, in 1901 for students beginning drafting. The plates are pen diagrams on tan stock: T-square and triangle set up on a drawing board, hatched rectangles with fractional inch callouts, compass-drawn circles with 45-degree divisions, north arrows, and hand-lettered annotation.
