The illustrations consist of a frontispiece title page, 4 plates and copperplate engravings in black, attributed to Thérèse Martinet after Gravelot.
Partially engraved by Pierre-Thomas Gondot, with music.
“The engravings are in fact by Gravelot and not by Martinet” (Cohen).
A very fine copy, beautifully bound by Chambolle-Duru.
Dedicated to ‘Her Excellency the Princess of Gallicin’, namely Nathalie Petrovna Galitzine, nicknamed the ‘Muscovite Venus’ at Versailles.
The second and third parts consist entirely of engraved music.
The work is followed by a section entirely engraved on copper, featuring the repeated frontispiece title and musical scores for the acts.
