Two tirages may be inferred. First tirage: title-page has an English fillet below the words "gravés par les artistes les plus distingués"; publishers' names are on a single line. Second tirage: title-page has, in place of the English fillet, a vignette of the cathedral and, beneath, a bat with wings spread; publishers' names are in separate columns. Paper used, names of printers of plates when given, type size and location of printer signatures, may vary. Cf. Vicaire; Carteret.

Rare Book copy: 61 parts as originally published, each in printed paper wrappers, with publisher's printed paper cover for the collected parts; blue half morocco chemise and slipcase by Mercier (successeur de Cuzin).
