Many plates signed "fait par Perelle" or similarly. Attributed by most authorities to Gabriel Perelle, in collaboration with his sons, Adam and Nicolas. Other draftsmen/artists named include I. Silvestre, I. Asselin, Aveline, and Louis Meunier.
Imprint date based on publisher's address. Most plates have the imprint of J. Mariette at an address on the rue St-Jacques at either the "Victoire", the "Colonnes d'Hercules" or both. Jean Mariette inherited the house at the Colonnes d'Hercules in Sept. 1691 (cf. Préaud, M. et al. Dictionnaire des éditeurs d'estampes à Paris sous l'Ancien Régime, ©1987, p. 229-230)
