Die eigentliche Markscheidekunst
Die eigentliche Markscheidekunst is a German mining-surveying textbook by Franz Ludwig von Cancrin, published in 1776 by the Andreäische Buchhandlung for students and practitioners of mine measurement. Its numbered copperplate engravings show surveying instruments, geometric construction diagrams, and mine cross-sections drawn in fine parallel hatching. Designers can take from them the precise, technical line work of eighteenth-century scientific plates, with stippled rock textures and labelled schematic diagrams.
