Stigmatypie works from Harpel’s Typograph, 1870. You can zoom in on the details thanks to archive.org.
Stigmatypie produces halftone images with small text characters, like the period (.), similar to dot matrix printing. The technique was developed in 1867 by Carl Fasol, who btw also inspired Valto Malmiola that we recently posted about.
The text segment is from American Encyclopaedia of Printing (1871).

From Fun With Your Typewriter, a book by Madge Roemer from 1956. Half of the book consists of detailed instructions on how to produce the works, sort of like software for humans. We covered the book back in 2012 but since then the book has been made available on archive.org thanks to Marcin Wichary. <3
