Dupont-Auberville was an important collector of fabrics. His collection served as the basis for the illustrations in this work. His collection was exhibited at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in 1880, and a portion was subsequently offered for sale at the Hotel Drouot, The Parisian Saleroom, in February 1885.
