F. Regnault, peintre et graveur. Paris, chez l’auteur, an VI de la République, 8vo. A frontispiece and a head-piece by Choffard.
The allegorical frontispiece represents Basan in his study, surrounded by his books and objets d’art and mythological personages; below this plate are the words: “A la mémoire de P. Frs. Basan. P. P. Choffard ft. L’an VII.... 98.” It exists without the “98” and in various other early states.
In all reference books they have omitted to mention that the little vignette is the same as that in volume ii of Basan’s Dictionnaire des Graveurs, 1789. Both illustrations are repeated in the 1809 edition of Basan’s Dictionnaire des Graveurs.
Regnault’s book contains an article on Basan.
