Second edition of this important collection of luxury prints comprising 206 etched plates, accompanied by a calligraphic explanatory text engraved below each engraving, in a frame of motifs. This second edition, published during the Restoration, was honored with subscriptions from King Louis XVIII, and "Emperors, Kings, Princes, and the principal characters of Europe." So much so that the work also exalts the actions of Wellington at Waterloo or the entry of the Duke of Angouleme into Bordeaux in March 1814. Most of the plates reproduce those of the previous edition.
