Parts 1 and 2 contain the plates illustrating the Greek and Roman civilisation, part 3 the Israelians and the Egyptians and part 4 the barbaric people suchs as the persians, Scyts, Amazons etc. All the plates are depicting costumes, architecture, battle scences, the common life and religious ceremonies etc. which are described in the text. Bardon gave a large part of his life to the study of ancient history and he liked it to illustrate the subjects of his study with his own hand.

The plates for this profusely illustrated work are by, the famous engraver Charles Nicolas Cochin Jr. (1715 - 1790). Good copy.- (Some marginal waterstaining last plates of both volumes. Uncut).
