  • 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.
