Dell' arte del misurare
A 1682 Italian surveying treatise, Dell' arte del misurare, by Girolamo Cataneo and printed in Brescia by Domenico Gromi for practising surveyors and measurers. Its pictures are plain geometric diagrams of triangles, rectangles and lettered points, with dotted construction lines and no shading, offering a designer a clear model for technical line drawings and labelled schematic layouts.
