Histoire de l'astronomie ancienne, depuis son origine jusqu'à l'établissement de l'école d'Alexandrie
Jean Sylvain Bailly's history of ancient astronomy, published in Paris by the Debure brothers in 1775 for scholars and learned readers. The plates here are not diagrams but typographic ornament: woodcut headpiece bands of scrolling acanthus, flower-filled urns on plinths, and lattice-hatched panels, usable as rules, chapter headers, and symmetrical frame elements.
