Procédés de reproductions graphiques appliquées à l'imprimerie
A French technical manual on printing reproduction processes, written by A. L. Monet and published in Paris in 1888 by the Administration of the Bulletin de l'imprimerie for printers and engravers. Its pictures are plain black-and-white line engravings of apparatus: a clamp-like press frame, a flat sealed casting block with a text plate, and two electrotyping machines on heavy bases with coiled wire and hand-cranked wheels. A designer could take from them the crisp hatched-line style of 19th-century technical illustration and its mechanical diagram vocabulary.
