Galeries historiques de Versailles: dédiées à sa majesté la reine des francais: Personnage célèbres depuis le douzième siècle jusqu'a François Ier
A French historical portrait album by Charles Gavard, published in 1843 and dedicated to Queen Marie-Amélie, gathering engraved likenesses of notable figures from the twelfth century up to Francis I. The four plates show men in caps and loose cloaks, their heads turned at odd angles, drawn in fine parallel line engraving with dense hatching on the garments and soft shading on the faces, a useful reference for designers wanting period costume and engraved line texture.
