Recueil de différents projets d'architecture, de charpente, et autres concernant la construction des ponts. Redigés et mis en ordre par le S. Tardif
A 1756 Paris folio of bridge and architectural designs compiled by Tardif and issued by the widow of the author, Robert Pitrou, aimed at builders and engineers of the period. The plates are engraved technical drawings, with elevations, sections and plans printed in fine black line on cream paper and framed by plate-number headings. A designer could take their clean, measured line work and the way cutaway sections show internal structure as a model for diagrammatic graphics.
