    For Essay No. 003, The Poor Man's Bank

    A patent-style engraving of a wristwatch in exploded view: bezel, crystal, and caseback float above and below the open case on leader lines, and inside the case, where the movement would be, a house is drawn in cross-section, with a crib upstairs, a fireplace and table below, a staircase, and the winding crown entering the wall.

  4. The Facade

    For Essay No. 002, The Lawn, the Refrigerator, and the Wall
