Catalogue Note
"Il y a des exemplaires in-12 formés d'épreuves avant la lettre et dans beaucoup de figures, les noms des artistes sont à la pointe au lieu d'être au burin. Après un examen attentif, nous sommes resté convaincu que ces exemplaires sont composés en grande partie d'épreuves d'artistes, tirées avant celles des Almanachs iconologiques (1765-1781)", d'après Cohen.
Exceptionnel exemplaire à toutes marges. Fine reliure en maroquin rouge à dos lisse dans le style de Bradel.
