Oudry Reproduction Pages 1800?

1800? 5 reproductions of Oudry's illustrations, perhaps the 1755 edition, with markings of the tissues that protected the illustrations.  $35 for the set from Wentworth and Leggett, Raleigh, June, '97. 

I enjoy Oudry's work, and these prints have come out well. I will be on the lookout for the edition that matches this format: pages 8.9" x 11.8" and illustrations 5.75" x 7.7". Oudry is acknowledged on all but one; five different people are listed as the engravers—all, I believe, from the original group that translated Oudry's work into printed form: Cochin and Chenu, LeBas, Tardieu, Beauvarlet, and Pasquier, respectively.
