These distinctive engravings are drawn from a rare 1818 volume, Tableau Encyclopédique et Méthodique des Trois Règnes de la Nature, a modified version of the illustrated encyclopedia by Diderot and d'Alembert. The CD includes every image from the book, which features 494 black-and-white illustrations — crabs, lobsters, bees, beetles, spiders, and other creatures.
