Description et usage d'un cabinet de physique expérimentale
Description et usage d'un cabinet de physique expérimentale is a French eighteenth-century physics manual by Sigaud de La Fond, published in 1795 in Paris by Letourmy le jeune for students and experimenters. Its copperplate engravings show laboratory apparatus such as lamps, pulley-and-weight rigs, optical tubes, and stands with glass vessels, drawn in fine line with lettered keys and figure numbers. A designer could draw on their precise linework, labelled diagrams, and the orderly grid of instruments arranged across each plate.
