Plane and plank, or, The mishaps of a mechanic
A juvenile moral tale by Oliver Optic (William Taylor Adams), published in Boston and New York by Lee and Shepard in 1870, illustrated by Henry Walker Herrick and engraved by Samuel S. Kilburn for young readers on work, temperance and conduct. The wood engravings stage confrontations in workshops, parlours and streets, with captioned page references, heavy cross-hatched shadow and figures in mid-gesture.
