- Notes:
- Most (if not all) of the engravings are after drawings by Jean Dieu (de Saint-Jean) and are signed by him. The name of the engraver is largely omitted: several are signed by Franz Ertinger; one is signed by Antoine Trouvain.
Imprints vary. The most frequent imprint, including undated prints and those dated from 1683 to 1698, is of the form: "Se vend à Paris, sur le Quay Pelletier, à la pomme d'or, au troisieme apartement" (or variants thereof). A number also bear the imprint of Antroine Trouvain (Paris). All of the plates with Trouvain's imprint omit the name of Jean Dieu.
