Rudiments of the art of building : represented in five sections [...] for the use of architects, builders, draghtsmen, machinists, engineers and mechanics
A practical building manual by John Bullock, issued in New York by Stringer & Townsend in 1853 for architects, builders, draughtsmen, engineers and mechanics. The illustrations are small wood-engraved line diagrams — wall and roof sections, truss geometry, lever and load schematics — built from thin outlines, dotted construction lines, hatched masonry and lettered reference points, useful as spare geometric marks or diagram vocabulary.
