Reviews
"This excellent set of case studies offers many rewards. Erudite and skillful specialists, both American and European, show in rich detail how drawings of machines were made and used in early modern Europe. They illuminate the formal development of geometries of representation, the social relations between engineers, artisans, and patrons, and a wide range of other topics. Every essay rests on a deep foundation of drawings, lavishly reproduced and precisely analyzed. Historians of art, of architecture, and of Renaissance court and urban culture, as well as specialists on the history of science and technology, will find this volume indispensable." -Anthony Grafton, Henry Putnam University Professor of History, Princeton University

Synopsis
How technical drawings shaped early engineering practice. Technical drawings by the architects and engineers of the Renaissance made use of a range of new methods of graphic representation. These drawings--among them Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawings of mechanical devices--have long been studied for their aesthetic qualities and technological ingenuity, but their significance for the architects and engineers themselves is seldom considered. The essays in Picturing Machines 1400-1700 take this alternate perspective and look at how drawing shaped the practice of early modern engineering. They do so through detailed investigations of specific images, looking at over 100 that range from sketches to perspective views to thoroughly constructed projections. In early modern engineering practice, drawings were not merely visualizations of ideas but acted as models that shaped ideas. Picturing Machines establishes basic categories for the origins, purposes, functions, and contexts of early modern engineering illustrations, then treats a series of topics that not only focus on the way drawings became an indispensable means of engineering but also reflect the main stages in their historical development. The authors examine the social interaction conveyed by early machine images and their function as communication between practitioners; the knowledge either conveyed or presupposed by technical drawings, as seen in those of Giorgio Martini and Leonardo; drawings that required familiarity with geometry or geometric optics, including the development of architectural plans; and technical illustrations that bridged the gap between practical and theoretical mechanics., How technical drawings shaped early engineering practice.

    Again, a truly great seller! They shipped the book right away, packaged it perfectly, and it was exactly as described and pictured. They quickly responded to an offer, and I feel like I got another amazing deal! Loved the note they left inside too. Buy from them and you will be very very happy. Thank you so much! A+++++++

    first, THANK YOU. my mom had this exact cookbook when I was a child, so it’s a nostalgic feeling to have. I’ve never stopped thinking about it. I ordered it on Amazon a week ago, and they sent me something else that was not it. and was 3x the price. so I chose Ebay. the condition is PERFECT. as if it has never been touched. not a crinkled page, not a stain, not a smell. it was packaged securely. it is as described. shipping is just high in general, anywhere. not disappointed. THANK YOU, again.

    Items as described. Shipped fast! Affordable. Seller was willing to work with me on the price (always appreciated!). For the past several months I had been looking for two of the titles at a price I was willing to pay, without success. None of the books are collector's items or in exceptional condition, but they are all serviceable reading copies. I did have to buy 2 books that I already had copies of, but the price of this lot (delivered) was still more affordable than other sellers' deals.
