Note

Each suite contains 12 prints including the title sheet. The first is numbered A1-12 at upper left and right, the second B1-12. They are signed in the plate by Bouchardon as designer and Huquier as engraver ("Bouchardon in.", "Huquier sculp"), with statement of royal privilege.
The title leaf of the Second livre has the address "vis a vis le Grand Chatelet." This is the address of Huquier's original publication, dated to 1737 by its announcement in Le Mercure de France for May of that year. Huquier used the address "rue St. Jacques" between 1742 and ca. 1750. See BN.
