Boardman, Edwin Augustus, 1876- [from old catalog] · 1909 · Boston, Little, Brown, and company · 86 pictures

A 1909 instructional manual by Edwin Augustus Boardman, published in Boston by Little, Brown, teaching amateur yachtsmen to race, sail, and build small boats. Halftone photographs show single sloops and catboats heeling under full sail against flat horizons, paired with line-drawn sail plans and rigging diagrams that label spars, stays, and reef points; useful for silhouettes, nautical linework, and sea-and-sky tonal backgrounds.
