This extremely rare and beautiful complete set of illustrations, were something of a challenge. Originally I though they referred to a specific title which I couldn’t locate, because of the 1898 date, however research took me to the only titles ” Etude sur la “Flagellation”, and as the 1901 edition is fully and splendidly illustrated these must belong to the unillustrated 1899 edition. I have both editions, but cannot locate any reference to these illustrations in the actual books. So I assume that Guacamole who was wrong about the number of engravings, appears to be correct in saying they were only offered to subscribers who purchased the book:-

CARRINGTON – (Jean de Villiot)
Eaux-fortes pour l’illustration de Étude sur la Flagellation en France & en Angleterre au point de vue médical et historique. Paris, Charles Carrington, 1898. 28.5 x 19.5 cm. Original plain portfolio – on the inside a leaf has been pasted with title and index with the titles of the seven etchings. An inner envelope contains 7 illustrations in four states, (28 in all), etching-engravings on loose sheets of handmade paper, uncut. Portfolio a bit worn, ties gone, envelope browned, but etchings in excellent condition. First Edition. These seven illustrations , according to the printed leaf, were only for sale for those who had bought Étude sur la flagellation. A second leaf pasted at the inside of the envelope advertises the Carrington title Sophie Arnould. Mentioned (but probably not seen) by Pia on col. 429.
According to Guacamole (Charles Carrington (1867-1921). Bibliographie eines Verlags. Berlin, 2005), this publication (nr. 236 in his list) should comprise the 7 illustrations in three states. But he was wrong:-
