Architectural diagrams illustrate technical structural details and internal furnishings of a cell within the Rotterdam House of Detention 插畫檔

This nineteenth-century technical engraving demonstrates specialized engineering components, floor plans, and cross-sectional details of a confinement cell configured for a facility located in the Netherlands. The administrative layout features multi-angle perspective views, transverse and longitudinal sections, and detailed engineering schematics highlighting the internal framework, security doors, lattice barriers, and compact space management of the detentive unit. A clear French-language legend at the bottom indexes the primary domestic and security fixtures, specifically identifying a small berth or cot, a work table, and a secure entryway door alongside magnified technical sections at scales of 1:50 and 1:20 to document the standardized penological infrastructure and structural design practices of the period.
