Die 12 Originalkupferstiche, die für dieses Buch verwendet wurden, stammen aus originalen Exemplaren der Bildtaelbände I - IX von Diderots Encyclopedie, die von 1762 bis 1771erchienen sind.

Das vorhandene Material ermöglichte die Herstellung von 12 Exemplaren, von denen jedes andere Kupferstiche enthält. Im Buchdruck darauf gedruckt sind, neben den mit Polymerklischees gedruckten Bildern, leicht veränderte Textpassagen aus Lewis Carrolls Alice in Wonderland und Through the Looking-Glass, die 1865 und 1872 in Londen erschienen sind.

The 12 original copper engravings used for this book are from original copies of the pictorial volumes I - IX of Diderot's Encyclopedie, which appeared from 1762 to 1771.

Printed on it, in addition to the images printed with polymer clichés, are slightly altered passages from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, which were published in London in 1865 and 1872 respectively.
