Récréations mathématiques
Récréations mathématiques is a French mathematical puzzle book of 1883 by Édouard Lucas, Henry Delannoy, Charles Laisant and Émile Lemoine, published in Paris by Gauthier-Villars. Its pictures are line diagrams: a labelled pentagon dissected into seven pieces, an engraved stellated dodecahedron captioned Fig. 94, and a square with a triangle and construction lines. A designer might take clean geometric linework, lettered labels and the faceted star solid as models for diagrammatic graphics.
