Greek vases, French costume, royal portraits and mills fill the encyclopaedic plates associated with Henri Roux. They belong to the atlas of the Encyclopédie Moderne and its complement, published in Paris by Firmin-Didot and catalogued to the 1870s. Numbered figures set several objects side by side on each plate, from Greek and Italian pottery and ancient religious imagery to French historical dress, uniforms, heraldry and machinery. The credits distinguish plates engraved by H. Roux aîné from designs associated with Roux and executed by other engravers.
