Recueil de divers mémoires extraits de la Bibliothèque impériale des ponts et chaussées, à l'usage de MM. les ingénieurs
A collection of engineering memoirs from the Paris imperial library of bridges and roads, compiled in 1810 by Lesage, Chrétien, Quenedey and Cochin for civil engineers in training. The pictures are dense printed tables of stone and material weights, measurements and geographic listings of quarries and departments, set in plain typeset columns with ruled headers and little decoration, offering a designer a model for technical data layout and hierarchy.
