- Title-page to a series of etchings by Pfenniger after de Loutherbourg, three of which are in the BM collection in various impresssions and states, with different publishers names (Martinet and the author) on two impressions of the title-page, and a third on some of the prints (Lenfant) which appears to be later than the original plate. The dating of the plates here are based on the dates that the publishers were known to be active, and the printmakers date of death, but it is possible that the plates are earlier. (the various impressions are at 1854,0812.87 & 88; 1872,1012.3822; 1894,0530.1-4 and 1917,1208.1209-1212)
