Opere di Galileo Galilei ...
A 1656 Bologna printing of Galileo Galilei's collected works, issued by the Dozza press for scholars of astronomy and physics. The pictures are plain geometric diagrams in black line on cream paper: circles with chords, right triangles with parallel lines, and a construction with tangent and secant lines labelled with capital letters. A designer might take the spare labelled-diagram vocabulary, with its fine strokes and letter placements, for technical or minimalist graphics.
