Soulavie, Jean-Louis, 1752-1813, collector · 1783 · 1783-1811 · 21 pictures

Monumens de l'histoire de France is a late eighteenth-century collection of prints and drawings assembled by the antiquarian Jean-Louis Soulavie, published in Paris in 1783 for readers interested in French royal history under Louis XIII to Louis XV. The pictures are engraved processional scenes on loose sheets pasted into a large folio, with figures in ceremonial dress, banners, and small captioned labels naming each participant. A designer could take from them the crowded, tiered layout of ceremonial parades and the dense caption-lettering style of seventeenth-century French engraving.
