Arts et métiers mecaniques
A French technical treatise on the mechanical arts and trades, produced in 1782 in Paris by Jacques Lacombe and Pierre-François Didot for the Imprimerie de Monsieur and the Panckoucke bookshop. The pictures here are small printed ornaments: scrolled foliate cartouches, acanthus-like leaves, flower bouquets and a decorative letter, cut in a crisp black line on pale paper, useful for borders, dividers and vintage ornamental motifs.
