Atlas | Comparative Table of the Height of the Principal Monuments | 1840 | Giclée Print

This detailed work, titled "Tableau comparatif de la Hauteur des Principaux Monuments" (Comparative Table of the Height of the Main Monuments), is by Michel Perrot and was published around 1840 by Basset Edr. The original image dimensions are approximately 60 cm wide and 45 cm high. The work is part of a series of comparative tables that capture various global measurements. The subject includes famous monuments from around the world, depicted on a single plane to allow viewers an easy height comparison. This method was popular in the 19th century and reflected the fascination with exploring the world and comparing human achievements. Sights: The copperplate engraving presents a variety of architectural styles, including Gothic, Classicism, and Islamic influences. Notable structures presumably include European cathedrals, the Giza Pyramids, and other iconic buildings. Inscriptions: Below the illustrations is a detailed French text with the names of the monuments, their heights, and construction years. This provides a pedagogical context and reflects the era's interest in encyclopedic knowledge. The graphics show illustrated comparative tables from the "Atlas of Tableau Comparatifs" published around 1840. The work was created in collaboration with authors Charles André Basset, Aristide V. Monin, and Michel Perrot and was published by Basset Editeur in Paris.
