What does this mean?

Hello,

Your item is an original print by Jean Le Pautre (1618–1682), a French Baroque engraver known for his architectural and ornamental designs. His works were widely admired during the 17th century, particularly for their intricate detailing and dynamic compositions. Le Pautre was appointed as an engraver to King Louis XIV and produced numerous engravings of royal palaces, battle scenes, and mythological subjects.

This print appears to be an original etching rather than a lithograph, as lithography was not developed until the late 18th century. The handwritten annotations and numbering suggest it may be from a later edition or cataloging system, possibly from the 18th or 19th century. The condition appears to be relatively good, with no visible major tears or stains, though the paper shows some signs of aging.
