From the structure of a column to a view of Grindelwald, these prints show how one Victorian publisher, A. Fullarton & Co. of London, presented knowledge across many disciplines. The imprint's nineteenth-century reference and topographical material includes natural-history plates, often arranged for comparison, mechanical diagrams, architectural orders, heraldry and astronomy, with scientific sheets explaining instruments, forces and the solar system. Landscapes such as Newstead Abbey, Grindelwald and the Simplon add a picturesque strand, and portrait groups and depictions of peoples in distant regions reflect the ambitions and assumptions of Victorian reference publishing.
