Dear All
A quick reminder of our lunchtime event in the Royal Society Library at 1:00pm this Friday, 11 April:
Surveying the scene, engineering the machine: the drawings of John Smeaton
The designs of civil engineer John Smeaton (1741-92), including wind and water mills, steam engines, river navigations, canals and harbours, are among
the Society's archival treasures. This talk examines the purpose of the drawings and the development of surveying and engineering draughtsmanship
in the 18th century.
Dr Celina Fox, author of 'The Arts of Industry in the Age of Enlightenment' (forthcoming)
