Notes: Originally issued in 120 livraisons, each containing 6 plates & from 4 to 12 pages of explanatory text, 12 livraisons forming a volume; the first 2 volumes were originally issued with title "Cours historique et élémentaire de peinture, ou Galerie complette du Muséum central de France", 1802-04; in the present set, v. 1 has this as an added t.-p., dated 1802; the sub-title was later changed to "... ou Galerie complette du Musée Napoléon".

Title-pages in the individual volumes occur with various datings; in this edition (which is probably a reprint of the original) they are dated 1804, 1804, 1804, 1807, 1808, 1810, 1810, 1812, 1813, & 1810; the errata list at end of v. 10 gives a total of 30 misnumberings of the plates, 5 of which have been corrected; the caption under plate 655 in v. 10 has correct reading "Jéricho"; the captions under the plates throughout are in shaded hollow capitals.

"La partie littéraire des neufs premières livraisons a été rédigée par Caraffe, peintre."--Verso of half-title in v. 1.
