Notes

According to Delteil, the series, which comprises sixteen lithographs, was begun in 1834 and finished in 1843. Delacroix himself published thirteen of them in 1843 in an edition (according to A. Moreau) of eighty copies, sixty on white paper, twenty on chine. This first edition was printed by Villain and published by Gihaut frères. The sixteen stones were included in the artist's posthumous sale. They were purchased by Paul Meurice for 2050 fr, together with four proofs of each plate. Paul Meurice produced an edition of two hundred copies, published in 1864 by Dusacq & Cie, Michel Lévy frères and Pagnerre, after which the stones were sawn and framed. The British Museum set (1911-4-12-165 to 180) is a complete set of the 1864 edition, with titlepage and list of contents (which are not registered but kept with the series). The plates, however, bear no lettering whatever, and are therefore after Delteil's last state (second, third or fourth, depending on the print) in which Bertauts's name replaces Villain's. Nevertheless, most of the sheets bear the blindstamp of Bertauts. An additional, duplicate impression of D.106 is probably from the 1864 edition but does not have the Bertauts blindstamp (1865-1-14.80).

The impressions of the 1911 set in the BM are inferior to the few impressions of the Villain edition that are also in the collection.: see1918-6-29-7 to 9.
