Traité de la construction et des principaux usages des instrumens de mathématique : avec les figures nécessaires pour l'intelligence de ce traité
A 1723 French treatise by Nicolas Bion, published in Paris by P. Husson, explaining how to build and use mathematical instruments for students and practical users. The pictures are engraved plates of compasses, quadrants, protractors, sundials, and drafting tools, each labelled with letters and figure numbers for reference. A designer might draw on their crisp line engraving, dense hatching, and clean schematic layouts for vintage scientific diagram motifs.
