The Emperor Qianlong commissioned the original set of sixteen engravings of his conquests on 13th July 1765, for the central hall of the Palace of Beijing. The drawings were prepared in China by four Jesuit missionaries: Giuseppe Castiglione (Lang Shining), Jean-Denis Attiret (Wang Zhicheng), Ignatius Sichelbarth (Ai Qimeng) and Jean Damascene (An Deyi). The engravings were then sent to France, where the engravings were executed in Paris by eight artists under the direction of Charles-Nicolas Cochin of the Académie Royale at the Court of Louis XVI, and the individual engravers include Le Bas, Aliamet, Prevost, Saint-Aubin, Masquelier, Choffard and De Launay. 

The copies of these engravings were so rare that Isidore-Stanislas Helman, a disciple of Le Bas reproduced the series in a smaller size and reduced quality, with the addition of four further illustrations, under the title 'Batailles et conquetes de l'empereur de la Chine.' [Battles and Conquests of the Emperor of China].
