520 2 # $a This set of prints had first been printed in 1677 under the title 'Les tableaux du Cabinet du Roy, au nombre de XXII., et les statues et bustes antiques des maisons royales, au nombre de XVIII. et leur explication'. For the 1679 edition (the first for sale to the public) the plates of the statues were issued as a separate volume and the twenty-two plates of paintings were joined by a further two. Between 1679 and 1699 a further twelve plates were gradually added, in accordance with the words of the text, 'faire plusieurs parties, & differens volumes, que l'on mettra au jour à mesure qu'on y travaillera', but without any extension of Felibien's descriptive text. In the text-volume with 24 plates the publication-date of 1679 is repeated in the colophon, but three plates carry the earlier dates of 1672 (pl.[2]), 1676 (pl. [3]) and 1677 (pl.[6]). Among the twelve additional plates many carry dates, some later but some earlier than 1679; in the Royal Academy's copy (which has only eleven plates) they are dated as follows: [1] 1679, [2] undated, [3] 1679, [4] 1677, [5] 1676, [6] 1680, [7] 1677, [8] undated, [9] 1682, [10] 1681, [11] 1681.

The twenty-four plates show paintings by Raphael (one pl.), Correge (2 pl.), Titien (2 pl.), Annibal Carrache (2 pl.), Guide (5 pl.), Dominicain (4 pl.), Valentin (4 pl.), Vandeck (one pl.) and Poussin (3 pl.). The additional plates show paintings by Veronese (2 pl.), Raphael (one pl.), Jean Lanfranc (one pl.), Poussin (4 pl.), Valentin (one pl.), Vieux Palme (one pl.), Annib. Carracci (one pl.).
