Guiffrey provides the following explanation for the inscription "C. B. J." - "Jacque nous a ainsi donné l'explication des initiales C.B.J. Cette planche et d'autres où nous retrouverons les mêmes lettres devaient faire partie d'une collection formée en collaboration avec M. Berthault; de là ces initiales qui signifient: Collection Berthault-Jacque." (see Guiffrey 21)
