See the Villet section on lithographs, V1L-V47L, for a discussion of individual prints in this series. The center of this title page has a vignette of a shepherd with flock in the mountains; it is not clear if Lalanne drew this image. This impression printed on a folded sheet of wove paper, perhaps to act as a folder for the series.
