Some of the 104 numbered prints are printed two-per-sheet. Forty-five of them are accompanied each by an unnumbered (sometimes smaller) print; in addition there are 17 in-text illustrations (incl. t.-p. vignette), making the total of 166 engravings called-for on the title page. The smaller print below print no. 15 is inverted. The plate numbered 52 is an in-text illustration. Four groups of plates carry a Roman as well as an Arab number: pl. 26-38, also numbered I-XIII; pl. 39-44, I-VI; pl. 46-52, I-XII; pl. 53-57, I-V.
Posthumously published collection of engravings after Barbault, generally arranged so that each plate is accompanied by explanatory text.
Most plates are signed as drawn by Barbault. Seven are signed as both drawn and engraved by him; but most carry the names of other engravers: D. Montagù, Freicenet, or J. Beheim. One is signed simply "H. Robertt" (or "H. Roberti"?).
