Clouzot attributed all of these compositions to Jean Broc (1771-1850), who may have been the originator of the two additional scenes or the transcriber of the project." - Denys Prache with the collaboration of Véronique de Bruignac-La Hougue, Joseph Dufour Génie des papiers peintints, Paris, Mare & Martin, 2016, pp. 263 to 273.
