Prepared between 1814 and 1825, this book includes an examination of its provenance, a biography of the draftsman, and an analysis of the historical contexts shaping both draftsman and drawings. His drawings are evidence of the transition from pre-industrial to industrial visual forms of technical knowledge, and of a much wider knowledge revolution in the U.S. The drawings also demonstrate the ubiquity of inventiveness at the extremity of the well-known American and transatlantic mechanic networks.
