L'art du menuisier
L'art du menuisier is a 1769 French treatise on joinery and carpentry by André Jacob Roubo, published in Paris under the Académie Royale des Sciences, aimed at woodworkers and craftsmen. Its plates are engraved diagrams of joints, moldings, and staircase or framework constructions, with lettered figures and scale bars. A designer can take from them the precise geometry of curved stair rails, lattice frameworks, and interlocking wooden joints, drawn in clean linear hatching.
