La science des postes militaires ou traité des fortifications de campagne, à l'usage des officiers particuliers d'infanterie qui sont détachés à la guerre, dans lequel on a compris la manière de les défendre et de les attaquer
A French military engineering treatise by Jean Louis Le Cointe, published in 1759 by Desaint & Saillant, written for regimental infantry officers who were detached to fight in the field. The pictures are small woodcut headpieces and ornaments, with the first and fourth showing the same scrolled, dotted design, and the others showing acanthus scrolls, flower sprays, and lattice panels in black ink on cream paper. A designer could draw on these as ready-made vignettes for dividers, bordering, or decorative chapter openings.
