Catalogue Note

Probabile prima edizione: le singole tavole di Merigot vennero edite la prima volta tra il 1796 ed il 1798, come segnalato nelle didascalie, ma l'edizione risale al 1816 come si evince dalla filigrana delle carte che ne riporta la data. La filigrana dell'edizione successiva, con le tavole a colori, รจ datata 1817 (vedi lotto 202).
