Traité élémentaire du blason
An elementary handbook of heraldry by Alphonse Labitte, published in Paris by Ch. Mendel in 1872 for students, engravers and amateurs learning to read and draw coats of arms. The 329 line cuts are small escutcheons showing tinctures as hatching and stippling, ordinaries, partition lines and charges, useful as ready-made shield outlines, pattern fills and monochrome texture conventions.
