Feuillet, Raoul-Auger, 1659 or 60-1710, Pécourt, Guillaume Louis, 1653-1729 · 1700 · A Paris : Chez l'auteur, ... Et chez Michel Brunet... · 69 pictures

A 1700 Paris dance manual by Raoul-Auger Feuillet, with dances notated by Guillaume-Louis Pécourt, published by the author and Michel Brunet for dancers and dance teachers. Its pictures are ink dance notations: looping floor paths drawn over faint pencil guide lines, with small tick marks and dots marking steps and positions, showing how Baroque choreography was recorded on paper. A designer might take from them the looping, calligraphic energy of hand-drawn movement diagrams and their spare, abstract linework.
