Recreations mathematiques et physiques : qvi contiennent plusieurs problêmes d'arithmetique, de geometrie, d'optique, de gnomonique, de cosmographie, de mecanique, de pyrotechnie, & de physique : avec un traité nouveau des horloges elementaires
A 1694 French mathematics and science compendium by Jacques Ozanam, published in Paris by Jean Jombert, aimed at curious readers and students of arithmetic, optics, mechanics and clockwork. Its copperplate pages show scientific apparatus, geometric diagrams and clock wheels drawn in crisp, labelled line engraving. A designer could draw on the clean, numbered diagrams and the orderly plate layouts for technical, schematic or heritage-style graphics.
