The plates in the text were executed by G. Duval, printer and phototypist, in Paris and were drawn in 20 examples on special “Wattmann” paper and in 1980 examples on “roto-Aussedat” paper. The frontispiece was coloured by stencil (pochoir) by Berthelot. Printing completed on 15 March 1947 by the account of the Librairie Arthème Fayard.”
