A view of Orleans from across the Loire, with promenaders and harvesters on the bank and watermen at work in the river, after Aignan Thomas Desfriches (1715-1800).. The plate was begun c.1761 by Charles-Nicolas Cochin Jnr (1715-1790), but left it to be finished by Pierre-Philippe Choffard (1730-1809). The British Museum has a progress proof (BM 1871,0429.994). The publisher is Cochin's mother, Louise-Magdeleine Horthemels (1886-1767). Although similar in scale to Cochin's 'Ports de France' it was not one of that series.
