"Beschrijving van een Algemeenen Graphometer" is a title page of a 10-page illustrated book published in 1777-1778 by the Dutch artist Antoine George Eckhardt (1740-1810). The title page itself features an elegant and simple typography, with the title "Beschrijving van een Algemeenen Graphometer" (Description of a General Graphometer) printed in large, bold letters, followed by "Eerste Deel" (First Part) and a short description of the book's content. The book itself is likely a treatise on the use and application of a graphometer, a surveying instrument used for measuring angles and distances. The artwork itself is likely a printed page with a design that was likely used for the title page of the book. It offers insight into the 18th-century world of scientific illustration and its use in explaining practical instruments and knowledge.
