Recueil de planches, sur les sciences, les arts libéraux, et les arts méchaniques, avec leur explication
This is a plate volume from Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie, published in Paris in 1762 for French readers of the Enlightenment, and the plates here are engraved technical diagrams of trades and craft tools. The pictures show workshop equipment drawn in precise line with numbered figures and labelled parts, so a designer can take their clear, schematic diagram style for instructional layouts, process sequences, or monochrome tool icons.
