Arts et métiers mecaniques
Arts et métiers mécaniques is a 1782 Paris trade book from the Encyclopédie-era series on mechanical crafts, printed by Didot for the Imprimerie de Monsieur and sold by Panckoucke. Its pictures are small black-and-white floral vignettes and head-pieces engraved in fine line, with dense bouquets and garlands that a designer could borrow for ornament, borders, or decorative tailpieces.
