Un progrès en lutherie
A late nineteenth-century French treatise on violin making by Nicolas Eugène Simoutre, published in Basel in 1886 for luthiers and musicians interested in improved instrument construction. Its pictures are fine line engravings of violin plates, a whole violin, and sectioned bouts with the sound-post and bar, drawn in plain labelled technical style that a designer could borrow for schematic diagrams with numbered callouts and hatched shading.
