The plates depicting Raphael's cartoons were first published (without text) by Marie Maugis in 1722 as: Recueil de quatre-vingt-dix têtes tirées des sept cartons des Actes de apôtres peints par Raphl. Urbin. Each of the 45 plates in that work depicts a pair of heads, fully engraved. In the present work, the original 45 engravings are reprinted, each paired (on the same page) above an outline engraving of the same image. The outlines are unsigned.
