This appears to be the first set of plates from a rare title (edition of 90) which was originally issued in six parts--5 sections of plates and 1 section of text. The plates are elaborately colored by hand and feature glassware, enamels, and pottery collected by Julien Greau (1810–1895). The collection was purchased by J.P. Morgan, who was involved in the production of this catalogue, and who later donated the collection to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
