Tableaux Historiques de la Révolution Française was first announced to the public in 1791 and was sold by subscription over the next few years, being completed in 1796. Over the next twenty years, four more editions were published in 1798, 1802, 1804 and 1817, each with a different text. This edition, the fifth, is referred to as the royalist text. Aside from the reworking of the text, additions to the 1817 edition include Louis XVI's will, Marie Antoinette's last letter to Madame Elizabeth and a new plate executed by Duplessi-Bertaux illustrating King Louis XVIII's arrival in Paris on May 3, 1814.
