Curator's comments: Mentionned under IFF 176: the print was advertised in the 'Gazette de France', 4 January 1782; then the collaboration seems to have been put to an end, as Janinet's following views of Paris were engraved after Durand and published by Esnauts and Rapilly c.1787, while Demachy was working for the Campion brothers.
