I'm glad you like it! I suspect it's a key source for many later recipe books, and likely builds on earlier ones too.

The original does have pictures, but they're samples of illustrations people can paint (filigree?) on to the boxes after the finish is complete. You can find them near the end of the book, after page 84, at:

None of them resemble the diagrams I'm used to seeing in "how to" books.

Enjoy,
Simon
