Published by Jas. Stewart & Co. July 28th 1797. The plates appeared as engravings within the 4-volume American edition of Gifford's History of France (Philadelphia: 1796-97) Evans 30489, 32189, 32190 and 33796. However the present versions are unusually printed on blue paper usually reserved for wrappers. Although suggested as proofs, given the difficulty in viewing the details of the engravings on blue paper it seems more likely to have indeed been used as wrappers of some kind. However, the folds of the paper show the images on the wrong side, i.e. what would be the rear wrapper. We have never before encountered similar. Each printed on folded oblong folio sheets of blue laid paper.
