Recveil De Portraits Des personnes qui se sont distinguées tant dans les armes que dans les belles Lettre et les arts Comme aussi la famille Royale de France Et autres Cours Etrangeres
A French engraved portrait collection published in 1725, assembled by Étienne Jehandier Desrochers and Gilles Edme Petit, gathering likenesses of notable soldiers, scholars, artists and members of the French royal family and foreign courts. Its pictures are oval-framed bust portraits of men in period dress, each set above a printed caption tablet; a designer could take the restrained oval-medallion layout, the engraved tonal shading, and the cartouche-and-plinth framing devices.
