there are several editions of this work which include at least the six costume plates (in height) numbered from 1 to 6 and, depending on the case, two or three plates (in width) unnumbered. The first print entitled "picturesque costumes of the ossau valley" and lithographed by e. Vignancour is dated 1844; the print in question here is later, without date. We note several differences between the different prints: the last two plates in particular stand out (see labarère, bibliographie pyrénéesiste, 486)
in this edition, the titles are in thin roman capitals. The pl. 6 entitled "guide aux eaux-bonnes" bears the mentions "chez a. Bassy, pau" and "lith. De e. Vignancour," unlike the other plates which bear the mention "edited and lith. By a. Bassy, in pau"
