- Listed in the 'Bibliographie de la France' on 19 July 1817, before the visit of the King announced in the title. A pair to a plate of the Montagnes de Belleville (1899,0713.181).
According to IFF, there is an earlier state published in 1815, which does not feature the 'Honoré de la présence de sa Majesté...' line, and which shows some differences in the figures and the roller-coaster itself
