Malombra, Giuseppe · 1630 · In Fiorenza : Appresso Simone Ciotti · 39 pictures

A 1630 Italian surveying manual by Giuseppe Malombra, printed in Florence by Simone Ciotti, for practical land measurement by sight. Its pictures are small engraved ornamental cartouches and a diagram of a figure sighting across a river or valley with a tripod-mounted instrument, showing how fine line engraving can render ornament and measurement scenes in compact form.
