Traité des arbres et arbustes qui se cultivent en France en pleine terre
A French botanical treatise by Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau, published in Paris in 1755 by Guérin and Delatour, cataloguing trees and shrubs grown outdoors in France for botanists, gardeners and foresters. Its pictures are plain black-and-white engraved plates of single shrub sprigs with labelled plate numbers, showing leaf arrangement, fruit clusters and branching habit that a designer could use as clean botanical line motifs.
