Copy 1. There are MS. signatures, and on the verso of the first leaf the title of the work as given above. On the second leaf in the same hand is the signature 'N. Rassius Desneus Chyrurgus S. Par'. Binding: late 17th century red goatskin over thin pasteboards, gold tooling with the arms of Nicolas Fouquet (Squirrel rampant) and a crown on the spine.

Inscription content: Lettered below image with production detail: 'J. B. Cignarolius pinxit - D. C. D.' and dedication to 'Clarissimo Viro D. Carolo Emanuelli Groscavalli Comiti Palatii...' (Carlo Emanuele Cavalleri di Groscavallo, 1706-1787 ?).
The engraver's monogram was described by Nagler (Die Monogramisten No.1017) as the signature of an unidentified 18th century engraver active in Italy, possibly a member of the David family.

Professor Robert Randolf Coleman has kindly drawn our attention to his work identifying the printmaker as Angelo Ghizzardi (see R.R. Coleman, "The Ambrosiana Albums of Giambettino Cignaroli (1706-1770): A Critical Catalogue", Milan; Rome: Biblioteca Ambrosiana; Bulzoni Editori, 2011, pp. 14, 89, 91, 117, 119, fig. 55 and p. 221, no. 343). Carmen Nagel (email Dec 2022): this etching shows a painting that was made for the chapel in the Royal palace in San Ildefonso and is now in the Prado (POOOO99).]]> After: Giambettino Cignaroli]]> https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1951-0714-110
