Notes:
The present work bears the same title (on printed wrappers) as a work published in 1824 by Martinet, also in three parts. The present item, however, comprises a completely different set of plates. The 21 plates here appear to be a subset of the 50 plates previously published as: Recueil de scènes de société, par Pigal (Paris: Martinet & Gihaut, 1822). See: Colas 2366; Ray, Art of the French illustrated book, 128. The plates in the present work are unnumbered.
