Remarques et expériences phisiques sur la construction d'une nouvelle clepsidre sur les baromètres, termomètres, & higromètres
Remarques et expériences phisiques is a 1695 French treatise by Guillaume Amontons, published in Paris by Jean Jombert, on instruments for measuring pressure, temperature and humidity, written for natural philosophers and instrument makers. Its pictures are small rococo-style ornamental headpieces and tailpieces, with a flower basket framed by scrolling acanthus leaves, and a designer could take their symmetrical scrollwork and cartouche structure as period decorative models.
