Les six premiers liures des elements d'Euclide,
A 1566 Paris edition of the first six books of Euclid's Elements, translated into French by Pierre Forcadel and published by Charles Perier for students of geometry. The pictures are plain line diagrams of rectangles, circles and lettered construction lines, set in the running text, and a designer might borrow their clean, economical use of labelled points and straight strokes as a model for technical schematics.
