- The prints of this series were originally sold in numerous fascicles that came out at different time, without following the order of the plates. For this reason this series arrived at the museum in four different batches, without following the right numebring. It was then assembled and bound here at the British Museum.
For the remaining plates, see 1865,0708.49-52; 1864,1114.826-847; 1862,1213.397-402.
