Although the title-page is dated 1765, the plates of the Frederickskirken, as the author explains, were not finished until 1769 under the reign of Christian VII. Plates [4, 6, 9, 11 and 12] were the only ones made before Frederick V's death in 1766. Following the Plans, coupes et élévations de l'église royale de Fréderic V is a 7 page 'Description Du Sujet Des Quatre Estampes Suivantes'. Berlin Kat. 2261.
