Instruments of the Imagination
Although this is essentially a study of the instruments themselves, this selection of instruments has been chosen to allow the many and varied aspects that they can reveal of a wider world of relationships between the makers of instruments and their books published describing their use to a much wider public. We examine instruments of remarkable craftsmanship for precision drawing, to the more basic tools, often made in wood, for builders or designers of sundials. These instruments, often made of engraved paper scales laid down on oak were provided at a price that the builder could afford and of course with the passage of time it tends to be only the important and expensive instruments that have survived. With the changes in fashion at the end of the 17th century and the return to Palladianism, innovations were made to assist architects in accurately recording or designing buildings in accordance with the strict mathematical rules

Drawing Instruments 1850-1950
The drawing instruments made between 1850 and the Second World War by a few British makers had a worldwide reputation and were used by architects, engineers, designers and draughtsmen both in Britain and in other countries. Although they were highly prized, their excellence was surprisingly taken for granted. Most of the instruments described in this album were made in electrum, but some in German silver and others in brass. Generally the scales were engraved on ivory or wood. The instruments were constructed to the highest standards of precision and durability and frequently were guaranteed for a lifetime by the makers. Unfortunately their exceptional quality led to their disappearance as, with rising costs, they became too expensive. This book reviews some of the more important items of the period and encourages their collection and restoration.
