Issued without title. A copy described as above was presented by Vieilh de Varennes to the Assemblée nationale Oct. 7, 1790.
Consists of 60 etchings, colored by hand, each depicting a member of the Garde nationale holding the banner of one of the Paris districts. Although wrongly attributed to Moreau le jeune because of a frontispiece after him found in one copy, the etchings were probably made and colored by Vieilh de Varennes.
The name of the battalion is etched at the foot of pl. 31-40, 42-47, 49, 51-60. Pl. 48 (Bataillon de Popincourt) has no legend. The other plates have stenciled legends below the etchings.
With partially effaced stamp of the military collection of Bernard Franck.
