Before photography, documenting the world was an art. A meticulous and sublime art that lived in engraved and painted plates, arranged with a care that was itself a form of beauty. Encyclopedic Euphoria is a tribute to this visual tradition. Through a selection of extraordinary representations of real-world objects, the book celebrates that particular feeling of fulfillment and joy that arises from the union of scientific rigor and artistic inspiration.

It is a journey through humanity’s enduring desire to observe, catalogue, and, in doing so, reveal the beauty of the world. From the depths of the ocean to the delicate architecture of an insect’s wing, from the creations of nature to the achievements of human craft. In every field, the same principle holds: the world, in all its complexity and variegation, is distilled into lines and colors, with the intention of revealing the metaphysical order that seals it into a single, elegant code.
