Practical carpentry, joinery, and cabinet-making : being a new and complete system of lines for the use of workmen, founded on accurate geometrical and mechanical principles ... / by Peter Nicholson ; revised by Thomas Tredgold
A trade manual of descriptive geometry for building crafts, written by Peter Nicholson, revised by Thomas Tredgold, and issued by Thomas Kelly in London in 1853 for working carpenters, joiners and cabinetmakers. The plates are fine outline engravings with light grey washes: domes and groined vaults in section, plans of curved staircases and niches, moulding profiles, and setting-out diagrams full of lettered points, radiating construction lines and hatched masonry blocks.
