Curator's comments: This volume is a miscellany of lithographs published in Paris between 1822 and 1828. 2000-5-21-47(1) by Fragonard is the titleplate for an album published by Englemann in 1822; 2000-5-21-47(13) by Bellangé is the title-page for an album of lithographs published in 1824. There is however no reason to think that the contents belong to these two albums, and probable that the assemblage was only made in the late XIXc when the album was bound.
