L'exemplaire comprend également les 350 gravures publiées par la librairie Lheureux en 1870, parfois en plusieurs états, ainsi que des cartes et plans de batailles rehaussés ; d'autres illustrations, parfois sur Chine, ont été ajoutées à l'exemplaire. Carteret, p. 584 et Vicaire, col. 826 pour l'édition de Paulin de 1847.
