Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, a 1695 periodical issued by the Royal Society in London for natural philosophers and scientific readers, with diagrams of geometry, astronomy, and surveying. The pictures are line diagrams: a curve with construction lines and labelled points, an ellipse with chords and lettered points, a hand-drawn survey plan with sketched terrain, and printed plates of geometric constructions with Greek-style lettering and grids, offering a designer clean, precise schematic linework.
