Manuel typographique, utile aux gens de lettres, & à ceux qui exercent les différentes parties de l'art de l'imprimerie
Fournier le jeune's Manuel typographique of 1764, printed in Paris for men of letters and working printers, is a manual of the typefaces, ornaments and musical notation used in eighteenth-century French printing. Its pages show numbered printers' ornaments and vignettes, sample type specimens with framed headings, and a plainchant music page, giving designers a dense reference of period ornament, letter forms and typographic layout.
