Description abregée des principaux arts et metiers et des instrumens qui leurs sont propres, le tout détaillée par figures
An 18th-century French trade manual published in Paris in 1743 by Guélard and the widow of P. Fessard, compiled with engravings of tools, machines and architecture for craftsmen and builders. Its plates are precise black-and-white engravings laid out as labelled reference sheets, showing hand tools, a balance and pulley set, columns and a grindstone workshop, useful for designers seeking clean technical diagrams and orderly plate layouts.
