More lively French art
Another item from the 1901 La Nature. An early use of modular housing.
Note especially the use of modularity to make artistic and fancy architecture more affordable. Each piece included complicated scrollwork that would have been hugely expensive when custom-made.
Later uses of prefabrication were much more basic.
This is also another example of the lively and almost animated art in French scientific and technical literature, while English and US artists were much more basic.
