The Popular recreator. A key to in-door and out-door amusements ..
A Victorian household compendium of indoor and outdoor pastimes, issued by Cassell, Petter & Galpin in London and New York in 1873 for middle-class families and hobbyists. The 667 figures mix wood-engraved tools, joints and apparatus with line diagrams of billiard shots and geometric play, giving designers small technical vignettes, hatched wood and metal textures, and spare instructional schematics.
