Richly illustrated with photographs, drawings, maps, diagrams and color plates, these works present the scientific knowledge of the interwar period in a form that is both educational and decorative, with gilded titles.

Illustrations: very numerous black-and-white illustrations, documentary photographs, scientific diagrams, text-telling plates and color plates (autochromes).

The iconography is particularly rich and varied, mixing period photographs, scientific documents and color plates, characteristic of the great Larousse publications of the interwar period.
