The series, published under the title 'Galerie lithographiée de son altesse Royale Monseigneur le Duc d'Orléans, dédiée à son altesse Royale Madame la Duchesse d'Orléans' included about 200 lithographs and was published by Jean Vatout (the Duke's secretary) and J.P.

The series was created as a limited edition: in addition to the subscriptions (487), few extra copies were printed, and the advertisement announcing the set claimed the stones were to be destroyed after printing."--Curatorial commentary, British Museum catalog.
