La geometrie pratique : diviseé en quatre livres ... : ouvrage enrichi de cinq cens plances gravées en taille-douce
La geometrie pratique is a 1702 Paris geometry textbook by Allain Manesson-Mallet, published by Anisson and intended for surveyors, engineers and students of practical measurement. Its copper-engraved plates pair views of gardens, fountains and palace facades with diagrams of measured ground plans, triangulated figures and numerical tables, showing how surveying was applied to real landscapes; a designer might draw on their precise linework, formal garden layouts and labelled geometric construction.
