La menuiserie
A French woodworking and furniture manual by Henry Havard, published in Paris by C. Delagrave in 1921, aimed at joiners and craftsmen learning the trade. Its pictures are plain line engravings of furniture: a spiral-carved chest, a richly scrolled console table, a Gothic cupboard with figure panels, and a table exploded to show its joinery. A designer could take from them the carved scroll motifs, the cabriole and turned leg forms, and the way construction is drawn out.
