These two sheets focus on the Garden of Eden and appeared in Atlas Methodique et Elementaire de Geographie et d'Histoire, published by Louis Charles Desnos. The first sheet includes depictions of Eve being created from Adam's rib and Eve giving Adam the forbidden fruit. The second sheet illustrates the banishment of Adam and Eve from the Garden. The decorative borders for each sheet were printed from a separated plate, making this a very expensive production for the publisher.
