A watercolour version of this sketch from the De Freycinet collection was sold at Christies, London, 26 September 2002, lot 51. At the bottom of that drawing, the subject is described in the following terms: ‘This scene gives an idea of a certain activity, which is however not the work of our actors: it is with the aim of bringing together the different workers, that we have modified the truth.’ This scene will illustrate the chapter entitled Divers travaux mécaniques in De Freycinet’s Atlas historique (Paris, 1825).
