Traité complet des operations de chirurgie : contenant leurs definitions, leurs causes expliquées sur la structure de la partie, les signes des maladies qui nous obligent de faire l'operation...
A 1698 Paris surgical treatise by de La Vauguion, published by Barthelemy Girin, written in French for medical readers and surgeons. Its engraved plates show numbered surgical instruments and dressings drawn in clean, precise outline, with rigid straight shapes beside looping curved forms that a designer could take as a model for diagrammatic, technical line work.
