Les monumens de la monarchie françoise : qui comprennent l'histoire de France, avec les figures de chaque regne que l'injure des tems a epargnées ...
A 1729 Paris folio by the Benedictine scholar Bernard de Montfaucon, published by Gandouin and Giffart, presenting French royal history through engraved plates of monuments, tombs and portraits that time had spared. The plates show a long tapestry-like frieze of ships, horsemen and battle scenes, a pair of medallion roundels of knights and a siege tower, and a portal flanked by standing robed statues with coin-like royal portraits above, suggesting strong sources for antiquarian borders, friezes and narrative panel layouts.
