Additional Details

Most plates with engraved sequence numbers in the upper left corners and the imprint of Martinet or Hautecouer Marinet beneath the caption. There are some plates with manuscript plate numbers which lack the imprint and are slightly smaller than the plates with the engraved numbers. It is uncertain where these were originally part of the series, or were added later.
