Morgand et Fatout, 11011).The engraved plates by J.-Fr. Blondel represent: the flat map of the part of the Seine where the celebrations were given; le temple de l'Hymen [the temple of the Hymen], setting of the fire work placed on the platform of the Pont-Neuf; élévation géométrale du trône [flat elevation of the throne] built so Their Majesties would see the celebration, executed after Gabriel's drawings; le plan et l'élévation géométrale du salon de musique [the map and flat elevation of the music room] built in the middle of the river between the Pont-Neuf and the Pont-Royal ;les bateaux illuminés [the illuminated boats]. Plate 8 gives the élévation géométrale de la terrasse du bord de l'eau [flat elevation of the terraces along the water] where the tents were located for the retinue of their Majesties. Plate 9 gives us a vue générale de cette fête sur la Seine [general view of the celebration on the Seine] with all its settings, illuminations and fireworks. Beside these thirteen plates, the edition is illustrated with a fleuron drawn by Bouchardon and engraved by Soubeyran, and with a large vignette, used as letterhead, drawn and engraved by J. Rigaud, representing a joust on the Seine.These luxury works were covered more or less sumptuously. The sovereign and the princes of his family used to receive copies covered with dentelle morocco, ministers, morocco less richly decorated and the mere bishops, volumes modestly bound with calf - all of them bearing though in the center of the covers the arms of the city that had financed the enterprise.,.OCLC Number: 560727468.
