This article focusses on the analyses of the imaging techniques of this atlas. Present knowledge implies that the author used different colour etching concepts which were partially re-coloured individually. In the opinion of contemporaries, the figures of Demours' atlas represent the climax of scientific imaging techniques. In the academic literature, it is still described as a "recent remarkable masterpiece", even 100 years later.
