One volume in 36 parts, 144 plates, stipple-engravings, colour-printed, finished by hand. Each part contained four plates, but since the plates are not numbered the order of issue remains conjectural. Redouté originally planned to issue only 100 plates in 25 parts, but went on until 36. The last part contained 20 pages text by Guillemin. A restricted number of copies was issued in folio (24 frs per part), the majority was in quarto (12 frs per part). Woodward supplies the following list of dates which are the dates upon which the parts were announced in the Bibliographie de la France. These agree very well (taking into account the usual delay) with the dates of announcement in the Revue bibliographique des Pays Bas. \[Other editions 1829, and n.d. \[1833\], with additional text by Guillemin\]. |part |dates | |part |dates | |part |dates| |--- |--- |--- |--- |--- |--- |--- |--- | |1 |26 Mai 1827 | |13 |2 Mai 1829 | |25 |5 Feb 1831| |2 |30 Jun 1827 | |14 |27 Jun 1829 | |26 |16 Apr 1831| |3 |15 Aug 1827 | |15 |22 Aug 1829 | |27 |11 Jun 1831| |4 |10 Oct 1827 | |16 |3 Oct 1829 | |28 |13 Aug 1831| |5 |24 Nov 1827 | |17 |5 Dec 1829 | |29 |5 Nov 1831| |6 |19 Jan 1828 | |18 |9 Jan 1830 | |30 |31 Dec 1831| |7 |22 Mar 1828 | |19 |27 Feb 1830 | |31 |17 Mar 1832| |9 |2 Aug 1828 | |21 |12 Jun 1830 | |33 |21 Jul 1832| |10 |25 Oct 1828 | |22 |31 Jul 1830 | |34 |29 Sep 1832| |11 |3 Jan 1829 | |23 |9 Oct 1830 | |35 |22 Dec 1832| |12 |7 Mar 1829 | |24 |4 Dec 1830 | |36 |22 Jun 1833| ##### n.8751.
