According to Thieme-Becker, Charton was responsible for several botanical portfolios including "Collection de douze cahiers de plantes étrangères en fleurs, fruits, corail et coquillages" (1784). This print may have come from this set. Very little is known about the artist. A reference from Arader Galleries cites the possibility that there is some suggestion his designs were used as models for porcelain decoration., Please also note P418 which is probably a print from the same set.
