It contains 3 portraits in two tones, 2 full pages with coats of arms in colors and many woodcuts, lettering and caps by Louis Jou. This capital work had cost Louis Jou a lot of work, a lot of investment for the font and many difficulties because the paper had been blocked at the Spanish border for more than 6 months. Limited edition of 185 copies, this one of 125 on laid paper (n° 37). The binding is a little loose with a few loose leaves. One of the volumes has kept its flap folder. The other folders are missing.
