John Wilkes’s Encyclopaedia Londinensis (1800–1801) documented the apparatus of the Chemical Revolution in detailed copper engravings by Henry Lascelles — plates of scientific precision and unexpected visual beauty that captured the material world of Lavoisier, Priestley, and Guyton de Morveau at the moment of its greatest achievement. The front cover presents Plate III: distillation equipment, Woulfe apparatus, gas bells, and furnaces that defined laboratory practice in the new chemistry. The back presents Plate VIII: the phosphorus combustion machine, the mercurial gazometer, and Guyton de Morveau’s eudiometer — the instruments that overturned the phlogiston theory and established the modern understanding of combustion and respiration.
