Les procedes de la gravure
Les procedes de la gravure is a French technical treatise on printmaking processes by Alfred de Lostalot, published in Paris by A. Quantin in 1882 for engravers, printers and students of the graphic arts. Its plates reproduce classical and Renaissance engravings: a rotated page of galloping horses, a cameo-style roundel of combat, a grotesque ornamental frame with a helmeted head, and a standing Mars figure with spear and shield. A designer might draw on their dense hatching, cross-hatching and decorative framing for line-based work.
