Recueil d'ouvrages curieux de mathematique et de mecanique: ou Description du cabinet de monsieur Grollier de Serviere, avec des figures en taille-douce
A 1719 Lyon catalogue of mathematical and mechanical curiosities, compiled by Gaspard Grollier de Servière and engraved by Étienne Daudet, describing the cabinet of Nicolas Grollier de Servière for collectors and learned readers. The copperplate engravings show wooden machines drawn in plain, precise outline: lattice towers, geared wheels, pulleys and hanging weights, with light hatching on the frames and ground that a designer could borrow for technical diagrams.
