Cours théorique et pratique de maréchallerie vétérinaire ...
A French veterinary farriery manual published in 1818 in Paris by Béchet, compiled by Jauze, Jacob, Abel and Bougon for farriers and veterinary students. The plates are numbered engravings of horseshoes seen from below, each with a side profile and a scale bar, showing nail-hole placement and curved shoe shapes. A designer could take from them the clean, technical line work of repeated curved forms and the precise rhythm of small square nail holes around an arch.
