Nouveau Larousse illustré


The Nouveau Larousse illustré was an illustrated French language encyclopedia published by Éditions Larousse between 1897 and 1904, in 7 volumes and a supplement. It was essentially a scaled-down version of the Grand dictionnaire universel du XIXe siècle of Pierre Larousse, but updated and written in a more neutral, scientific style under the editorship of Claude Augé.
The encyclopedia consisted of 7,600 pages containing 237,000 articles, with 49,000 black and white illustrations, over 500 maps and 89 colour plates.
