Our copy consists of a title page engraved in etching by Montferrand, and 95 etching plates on laid paper engraved notably by Normand fils, Giraud (dated between May and December 1813 and located in Strasbourg), Simon, and most of the last ones titled in the plates "Propriété de la Manufacture de décors en mastic pierre de J.
