Recueil de planches, sur les sciences, les arts libéraux, et les arts méchaniques : avec leur explication ..
This is a plate volume from Diderot and d'Alembert's Recueil de planches, published in Paris in 1762 by Briasson, David, Le Breton and Durand for French readers of the Encyclopédie. Its engraved plates by Robert Bénard show tools, joinery profiles and furniture parts, with lettered figure keys for each element. A designer might take its clean line drawings of curved mouldings, cabinet fittings and forge equipment as a dense reference for ornamental profiles and structural detail.
