The work was dedicated to the propagation of new ideas and methods and these plates serve as a fine example. Illustrated with a number of attractive scenes of the cultivation and manufacturing processes this suite also contains a number of useful figures and diagrams displaying and demonstrating the use of many eighteenth century tools and utensils.Included with the suite of plates are the main articles for Chanvre and for Coton both contributed to the Encyclopédie by Diderot himself. Diderot wrote several hundred articles for the work despite being much preoccupied with the running of the project and the correction of many other contributions. In the daytime Diderot visited factories workshops and plantations writing on these places during the night. He also spent considerable time studying the work of other authors and for example cites Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau's pioneering work on the cultivation of hemp many times in his article on Chanvre. Other sections included here are descriptions of the cannabis plant by Louis-Jean-Marie Daubenton the distinguished French naturalist and Chevalier Louis de Jaucourt who contributed around eighteen thousand articles for the Encyclopédie. unknown‎

Particularly interesting scenes show the large tobacco presses used and diagrams at the foot of each plate usefully display the other equipment and tools employed. Several articles from the letterpress volumes accompany this suite. These were contributed by Chevalier Louis de Jaucourt a polymath whose articles amount to around one quarter of the Encyclopédie and who turned his pen to almost any subject. Here he expertly tackles Tabac its natural history cultivation and manufacture. His other articles here deal more precisely with the gradients on which the plants are grown the shoots and offspring of the crop its sap and the buildings and tools used when processed. unknown‎

Of particular note are those on Antiquité by Edme Mallet Antiquité en architecture by Jacques-François Blondel and two articles on Antique one by Marc-Antoine Eidous.Although an abbot and primarily concerned with theology Mallet also wrote on history and literature. Having studied at the Barnabites College of Montargis Mallet became a key figure in the success of the Encyclopédie. Dying before the project was completed Mallet still managed to produce over a thousand articles. Although his views are often criticised as restricted and narrow-minded he acted as a safeguard for the project which could have been suspended if the religious articles had proved too controversial. His article on antiquities is a general overview whereas Blondel's contribution focuses on architecture. After studying with Gilles-Marie Oppenord Blondel earned a living as an engraver and writer. He became a well-regarded architect also publishing many of his lectures and contributing to major works such as Augustin-Charles d'Aviler's Cours d'Architecture 1737. Founder of the École des Arts he inspired many young architects such as his fellow encyclopédist Lucotte. Praised for his Traité de la Décoration des Edifices he was also an accomplished engraver of plates. He had already produced his own encyclopedia of architecture so was well-accustomed to the practises of the encyclopedist. With numerous creative abilities as displayed in his work at the Metz Cathedral he wrote nearly five hundred articles for the Encyclopédie. Marc-Antoine Eidous was a French writer and translator born in Marseilles. Despite his relatively basic education he was a tireless writer and translator focusing mainly on philosophy travel and agriculture. After serving as an engineer in the Spanish army he devoted much of his time to literature. Best known for his work on heraldry he contributed around 450 articles. His writing has been criticised for a lack of elegance but he gives a very clear summary of the antiquities in this entry.The plates include Greek and Roman architecture Judaic antiquities armour clothing furniture and many other subjects. Of particular note are the plates showing the Pantheon the Colosseum as it would have been when built and as a ruin the Arch of Constantine the Circus of Maxentius known as the Cirque de Caracalla until the 19th-century the forum in ruins Trajan's column before the bronze figure of St. Peter was added in 1587 and St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Also displayed are some items of jewellery and ceremonial dress alongside other ornaments.There are over twice as many plates in the supplement. The suite begins with a double plate of Noah's Ark and covers the Tower of Babel the Pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza. Further plates are plans and reconstructions of Palmyra Baalbeck and Athens before the extensive 19th-century excavations. These are followed by depictions of the Apotheosis of Homer by Archelaus of Priene Achilles's shield the Roman Cussy-la-Colonne and many types of decorated chairs and lamps. Indeed two pages are dedicated solely to different types of sandal. With large and attractive illustrations such as that of the catacombs in Naples these plates of classical antiquity are particularly pleasing. hardcover‎

With nineteen text sheets all the plates from the main volumes are described in great depth. A complete guide to architecture in particular that contemporary to the Encyclopédie these plates are also very attractive. The five orders are examined and displayed in detail with some measured drawing as well. Many examples of 18th-century architecture then follow. Foremost amongst these are the plans by Blondel also a key encyclopédist for his Fontaine de la rue de Grenelle plans for the Colonnade of the Louvre a project for the Abbaye Royale de Panthemont by François Franque for the church of the Panthemont and the Town Hall of Rouen designed by Le Carpentier. Other plans include private houses and further Blondel work alongside designs for the interiors of new rooms at the Palais Royale. A display of some of the most important building work at the time this large suite of plates is also of interest as a historical record of buildings and interiors now lost or altered. There are also many plates from the supplement which again cover a variety of topics. Starting with further plates on the five orders more measured drawing is included as well. A large section of this supplementary suite is devoted to the Bagne de Brest where Eugène François Vidocq was famously held. With designs by Raphael and Carac magnificent plans by Charles De Wailly are also displayed. The penultimate set in this suite contains nine theatre designs with both interior and exterior views. The suite then closes with a final plate concerning Architecture Navale and tools used in the art. The main article for Architecture by Jaques-François Blondel is included with these plates alongside many other relevant entries. A good introduction to the plates it is testament to Blondel's understanding and knowledge of architecture. Professor at his own École des arts Blondel had already written extensively on architecture with his Traité de la Décoration des Edifices receiving much praise. With numerous creative abilities as displayed in his work at the Metz Cathedral he wrote nearly five hundred articles for the Encyclopédie. We see the full scope of his expertise displayed in this article. unknown‎
