In the bottom left is a reference to Robert Benard (or Jacques Renaud Benard), who supplied many of the plates for Bonnaterre'sTableau Encyclopedique et Methodique. The "Benard Direxit" in the bottom margin indicates that the plates were directed by him in his atelier or workshop of engravers, which had become very successful by this time.
