content: Page of text with elaborate border decoration, printed on recto and verso. The recto includes a repetition of the title and an elaborate border: at the top, a winged putto crowns a coat of arms with a floral wreath; the sides feature satyrs and bacchants; the bottom of the frame morphs into a landscape in which putti dance with a garland and play music. The plate is signed. The verso is likewise printed in a decorated border and continues the description of the celebration given by the city of Paris on February 13, 1747, on the occasion of the marriage of Louis Dauphin and Marie-Josephe of Saxony.
