1935-1942
Emilio Zito created this meticulous technical drawing as part of a massive 1930s government project designed to document American history and design before it was lost to time. Depicting a round Civil War-era canteen from 1860-1865, the artist carefully recorded every functional detail, even handwriting notes at the bottom about the strap's exact length of 5 feet 5 inches and its 'light tan' color. It serves as a fascinating visual archive, blending artistic skill with historical preservation to freeze a piece of 19th-century military life on paper.
