Description et usage d'un cabinet de physique expérimentale
A two-volume French catalogue of experimental physics apparatus by Joseph Aignan Sigaud de La Fond, published in Paris in 1775 for demonstrators and cabinet owners, later owned by John Adams. Copperplate engravings set lettered instruments—glass vessels, pumps, thermometers, pulleys, a globe—on curtained stages and carved rococo tables, some worked by wigged operators, giving clean outline objects with figure keys and scrolled furniture.
