Louis-Claude DESRAIS (already seen in my 8th post-the manchon and the little child with a bird) 1746-1816 worked for Basset a famous printer with the logo A Sainte Geneviève or A l'image Saint Geneviève situated at 670 then 64 Rue Saint Jacques at the corner of the rue des Mathurins. It's the same place but there had been two systems for numbering the buildings during the revolution. Basset had the "Approbation & Privilège du Roi", maybe the letters A.P.R. that we can see in the card la victoire
La victoire by PhilBeDaN, sur Flickr
Desrais had been the pupil of Francesco CASANOVA, Giacomo's brother as already said elsewhere. From him I will post the Grand Vizir giving audience to the Comte de Saint-Priest, french ambassador, on March 18, 1779 :
