There is a copy of the edition of 1722 in the Library of Congress, which has four leaves of engraved plates at the end, the engravings in compartments and on both sides of the leaf.
Jefferson visited Amsterdam in March, 1788, and wrote (with illustrative drawings) a commentary on whatever struck his fancy.
