The volume includes 14 full-page plates by various artists and engravers, published between 31 January 1791 and 20 October 1800; and 6 headpiece (4) and tailpiece (2) vignettes (3 headpieces and 1 tailpiece designed by Philippe-Jacques de Loutherbourg; 1 headpiece designed by Thomas Stothard; 1 tailpiece designed by William Hamilton; the vignettes are engraved by various engravers; not all are dated - the earliest date is 10 August 1791 (tailpiece to Exodus) and the latest 15 December 1791 (headpiece to Numbers) and it is likely that all were published in 1791).
