About This Item
Paris, 1754. A pair of copper engraving /etchings from the famed "Encyclopedie ou Dictionnaire Raisonne des Sciences, des Art et des Metiers...". These plates illustrate the effects of volcanic activity in Italy, including the eruption of Vesuvius in 1754.
The Encyclopedie was published between 1751 and 1772 in 17 volumes of text and 11 volumes of plates. It contained over 70,000 articles written by more than 140 contributors. Meant to propagate the ideas of the French Enlightenment, the impact was enormous.
Platemarks 17 3/4 x 14" with small margins on the left and right. Printed on laid paper, in very good original condition.
