I found this on the wonderful Old Book Illustrations blog. It’s from Les merveilles de l’industrie (The wonders of industry), an 1871 celebration of technological achievements written by Louis Figuier.
If you root around that blog, you’ll find plenty more of these illustrations, from Peruvian pottery to contemporary factory machinery. Look elsewhere on the web, and you can find wonderful things.
There’s plenty of information about the brilliant Dr. Figuier (also the author of Earth Before the Deluge) on the web, but not so much on the visionary M. (or Mlle.) Broux.
