Printing and writing materials: their evolution
A self-published history of writing and printing materials by Adele Millicent Smith, issued in Philadelphia in 1912 for general readers and trade students. The plates are wood engravings and halftones of machinery in strict profile — hand presses, a Linotype, a sextuple newspaper perfecting press — with dense gear trains, flywheels, cast iron legs and type cases rendered in fine parallel hatching against blank grounds.
