The work is divided into three parts the first focussing on the history of woodcutting the second on the technical aspects and the third is a supplement. The author was one of the best woodcut artists of his time. The present work was based on his personal experience and offered the finest specimen of his own work as a woodcutter including some beautiful and rare woodcut chiaroscuro prints. Jean Michel Papillon 1698-1776 enjoyed great fame as a woodcutter and his workshop included many noble pupils. Woodcutting was much "en vogue" at the time and following the example of Madame de Pompadour woodcutting was practiced by many members of Paris High Society including the Counts de Breteuil De Forbin La Barden Lalive de Jully the Marquisses de Montmirail De Chamont and De Rouvre the Duke de Chevreuse the Duchess de Luynes the Princess Rohan-Rochefort etc. Papillon also worked for the Imprimerie Royal and made a considerable number of woodcut vignettes and devices for libraries and publishers. His collected woodcuts were left to the Cabinet des Estampes.With a bookplate a black shield with the monogram "AD" mounted on the front pastedown of both volumes and a later annotation on the first flyleaf of the second volume "Une comète se montrera en 1834 ou 1833". Both volumes have been rebacked with the original spines laid down the boards have been rubbed. The work is somewhat browned throughout with some foxing in the second volume.
