This piece was produced around 1835. I based this on the engraver (Caqué) exhibiting in the 1835 Salon with Louis XVI as one of his subjects. It isn't listed in any of the standard references tha I us and I resorted to checking in with Forrer, where I found the mention of the Salon. Caqué was a prolific engraver who specialized on Bourbon subjects. The date is entirely a guess unless someone has access to literature that references this piece.
