Mills, drainage machinery and armour sit beside Roman furnishings and Egyptian architecture in these prints from the Encyclopedie Moderne des Sciences, the illustrated atlas published in Paris by Firmin-Didot to accompany a dictionary of the sciences, letters, arts, industry, agriculture and commerce. The plates are dated 1875–1879. Agricultural processes, heraldry and historical costume join classical vases, historical maps reconstruct ancient Italy, Germany and Asia Minor, other sheets show the European countries of the day, and French royal and medieval figures complete the range.
