Indeed, the fact that he alone was responsible for designing the twelve plates, thirteen headpieces and sixty tailpieces gives them a decorative unity quite unmatched in the earlier work").

Illustré de gravures d'après Jacques de Sève, comprenant : 3 vignettes de titre, 1 portrait de Racine par Daulle, 12 planches hors-texte, 13 bandeaux et 60 vignettes-culs-de-lampe (fréquentes rousseurs et piqûres, quelques cahiers très brunis, légers reports des planches).
