http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/769827347

Drawings created by Edward Sangiacomo. Sangiacomo was a student at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1948. The collection includes sketches and graphic designs created by Sangiacomo, as well as two textbooks. The Edward Sangiacomo drawings and other material consists of graphic design work created by the former Rochester Institute of Technology student. The collection includes drawings for several companies such as BernzOMatic and Sano's Sauce And Spice Company. It is unclear whether or not these designs were completed as part of Sangiacomo's coursework. The collection also includes two books. The first appears to be a course text for his Design I course at RIT, while the second is a manual on "Instrumental Perspective," published by the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute (renamed the Rochester Institute of Technology) in 1934. In total, the collection contains 53 difference pieces.
