Mission Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I was looking for near-period medical images when I came across the Encyclopédie, ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers the volumes of which were published from 1751-1765. Below are the images for the entry on Arquebusiers that I thought were kind of interesting (Pages 274-277 from the 'A' book - 1751). You can click on them and zoom the heck out of 'em. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
