Fin de siècle nostalgia with these plates from the end of the 19th century, parodying the progress of science.
Airships were the means of transportation for the first airline and the first aircraft to carry passengers on non-stop scheduled services across the Atlantic.

Subject treated with an old-fashioned humor and very beautiful illustrations with fine and precise work. The moon on the astronomy plate is reminiscent of the Melies moon.
