Monumens de l'histoire de France is a late eighteenth-century French collection of engraved prints and drawings assembled by the historian Jean-Louis Soulavie and published in Paris from 1783 onward, documenting French royal history. The pictures are mostly engraved medals, emblematic title pages and framed plates showing kings, portraits and heraldic arms in ornate borders, with dense French text beneath. A designer could draw on their symmetrical medallion layouts, decorative cartouche frames and classical allegorical figures for ornamental or heraldic work.
