$a The frontispiece of Volume I is signed as designed and drawn by J.B. Descamps and engraved by J.P. Le Bas. Most in-text illustrations are signed as drawn by I.B. Descamps or Ch. Eissen and engraved by R. Gaillard, D. Sornique, Fi(c)quet, Teucher, M. Aubert, L. Le Grand, A. Pinssio, Basan, Benoist or Campion. The headpieces of the two dedications, in Vols. I and III, are signed as engraved by N. Le Mire. The printer is named in the colophon of Vol. I as 'De l'Imprimerie d'Abraham Viret, Imprimeur ordinaire de l'Hôtel de Ville & l'Académie Royale des Sciences, Belles-Lettres & Arts de Rouen, rue Senécaux, près S. Martin sur Renelle, 1752.', and in those of Vols. II-IV as 'A Rouen, de l'Imprimerie de Viret fils'. The dedications are by J.B. Descamps to (Vol. I) Claude-Alexandre De Villeneuve, Comte De Vence, and (Vol. III) M. De Lalive De Jully. |

$a Publication-dates are given on the four title-pages as 1753 (with the colophon naming the printer with the date 1752), 1754, 1760 and 1763. In the imprints of the third and fourth volumes the name of Charles-Antoine Jombert is replaced by those of 'Desaint & Saillant, rue de S. Jean de Beauvais. Pissot, Quai de Conty. Durand, rue du Foin.' (and in the fourth volume 'Durand, rue du Foin' is replaced by 'Durand le Neveu, rue S. Jacques, au coin de la rue du Plâtre'). Descamps' collection of biographies was well received in its day, but contained several inaccuracies. The frontispiece of Volume I is an allegory showing a seated female figure representing 'Painting', carrying both a palette and a pen. Apart from the headpieces of the two dedications, decorated initials and printer's vignettes, all in-text illustrations are portraits of artists. |
