This is a French collection of engraved plates titled Monumens de l'histoire de France, assembled by the collector Jean-Louis Soulavie and published in 1783 for readers interested in the nation's history. Its pictures show medals bearing emblems, royal tombs and funerary monuments with statues of kings, and formal garden views, rendered in crisp black-line engraving with ornate frames and labelled captions that a designer could borrow for classical, commemorative or heraldic layouts.
