Traité de perspective linéaire : avec une planche en taille-douce

Michel, S. N, Lottin, Augustin-Martin, 1726-1793 · 1771 · A Paris : Chez Lottin l'aîné ... · 6 pictures

A perspective treatise published in Paris in 1771 by Lottin the elder, with its authorship credited to S. N. Michel, and written for students and practitioners of linear perspective. The pictures are mostly front matter: a decorated initial M, a title vignette of classical figures with a drawing tool, a faint engraved plate of an arched architectural niche, and a dedication and printer's ornament, so a designer might take ornamental framing and classical allegory from them.
