Notes
Date suggested by an entry recording publication of Monnier's suite of lithographs in the 1840 volume of the Bibliographie de la France.
Running title at head of each plate: Les gens sans façon.
At foot of each plate: "Imp. d'Aubert & Cie."
According to Marie, this suite consists of 5 plates, with the final plate in the set misnumbered as plate 6; earlier sources, probably owing to this irregularity in the numbering, state the number of plates as 6, although they were unable to identify or describe a copy of the missing plate 5 of the sequence.
Library's copy has the final plate "no. 6" (i.e. plate no. 5) in its uncolored state.
