This is a late eighteenth-century French collection of engraved portraits and drawings of historical figures, assembled by the collector Jean-Louis Soulavie and published in Paris in 1783 for readers of French history. The pictures are formal oval bust portraits of churchmen and royal figures, with engraved inscriptions and coats of arms set in ornate cartouche frames on plain page layouts, offering designers models for classical framing, oval vignettes, and heraldic emblems.
