L’ouvrage est illustré de 3 beaux frontispices gravés par Le Bas, le dernier d'après Oudry, 5 planches (andouillers et pieds) gravées par Le Bas d'après Oudry et 50 pages de musique gravée. " Ce joli volume mérite d'être recherché, non seulement pour ses illustrations, mais surtout parce qu'il est le premier volume qui contienne des fanfares, dont toutes celles du marquis de Dampierre, qui paraissent ici pour la première fois, et au complet. La première édition séparée de ses célèbres fanfares ne parut, en effet, qu'après la mort du marquis vers 1778". Thiébaud, Bibliographie des ouvrage français sur la chasse : pages 836 à 839.
