Tielke, Johann Gottlieb · 1787 · in Verlag bey Johann Samuel Gerlach · 14 pictures

This 1787 German military manual by Johann Gottlieb Tielke, published by Johann Samuel Gerlach, instructs officers who want to become field engineers, using examples from the recent war. Its folding copperplate pages show fortification and engineering plans in fine, precise line work. A designer might draw on the clean technical diagrams, with their lettered keys, dense hatching and measured scale bars, for schematic or map-like graphics.
