According to Delteil & Strauber (quoting Adolphe Moreau), "the lack of success of this piece, with Delacroix's name, prompted the publisher to substitute that of Clle. Roqueplan, much more popular in this period." See Loys Delteil, Delacroix, the graphic work: a catalogue raisonné, translated and revised by Susan Strauber (San Francisco: Alan Wofsy, 1997), p. 208, note 212 and p. 210, note. 217. Apparently Roqueplan's name was just used for marketing purposes, and he did not have anything to do with the creation of this work.
