Copies*: BR(col.), FI, G (uncol.), HH (col.), USDA (col.); IDC 5679. – The 1818-1822 t.p. was evidently publ. 1822; the BR copy has a different t.p., dated 1818, with a different imprint: Paris (Imprimerie de Mme Hérissant le Doux, imprimeur ordinaire du roi et des musées royaux,...) 1818. – Publication took place in 49 fascicles of 6 plates (except no. 18 with 4 and no. 19 with 3 plates); together 109 color-printed plates by Poiteau. The following dates are those on which the Bibliographie de la France announced the fascicles. The contents of the parts are conjectural. There are no indications that the plates were not issued in numerical order, but there is no definite proof of such regular publication. |part |*plates* (by inference) |dates | |--- |--- |--- | |1 |1-6 |18 Jul 1818 |2 |7-12 |6 Mar 1819 |3 |13-18 |6 Mar 1819 |4 |19-24 |27 Mar 1819 |5 |25-30 |1 Mai 1819 |6 |31-36 |8 Mai 1819 |7 |37-42 |22 Mai 1819 |8 |43-48 |29 Mai 1819 |9 |49-54 |26 Jun 1819 |10 |55-60 |31 Jul 1819| |11 |61-66 |\[1819\]| |12 |67-72 |2 Oct 1819| |13 |73-78 |13 Nov 1819| |14 |79-84 |1 Jan 1820| |15 |85-90 |26 Feb 1820| |16 |91-96 |1 Apr 1820| |17 |97-102 |13 Mai 1820| |18 |103-106 |17 Jun 1820| |19 |107-109 |12 Aug 1820| The BF review of part 14 mentions 10 plates instead of the usual 6, this is probably an error. *The plates* are stipple engravings, in the coloured copies printed in colour and finished by hand, all of drawings by Poiteau. *New edition*: 1872, p. \[i-iii\], \[1\]-228, *pl. 1-29, 29 bis, 30-109* (col. copp.). *Copy*: USDA. – "*Histoire et culture des orangers* par A.
