- The print formed the basis of a wood-engraving by Frederick James Smyth (after an intermediary drawing by Thomas Dewell Scott) published in the 'Illustrated London News', 26 February 1859, p.212: "Our engraving is copied, by kind permission of Messrs. Goupil and Co., of Southampton Street, Covent Garden, from a fine print engraved in line by F B Meunier [sic], published by them" ('Louis XVII in the Temple, by G Wappers', p.216).
