Federico Grisone's 1575 Paris horsemanship manual, printed for those who choose, train and ride horses for war or everyday use, is a Renaissance treatise on equitation. Its pages are woodcut diagrams of horse bits drawn in plain outline with a single black line, showing their shapes, cheekpieces and mouthpieces, which a designer could borrow for simple technical line drawings.
