A 1665 German surveying manual printed in Munich by Johann Jäcklin, explaining how to measure fields, meadows, gardens, woods and ponds and divide them into equal or unequal parts, written for land surveyors and estate managers. Its diagrams are geometric line drawings of triangulated plots, with sight lines, angle marks and measurements labelled in numerals and letters, plus a few sketches of measuring instruments set on tripods and a pair of circular angle-reading dials. A designer could draw on their clean, schematic diagram language for technical layouts, plans and simple map-like graphics.
