Monumens de l'histoire de France is a late eighteenth-century French collection of engraved prints and drawings assembled by collector Jean-Louis Soulavie and published in 1783, covering French royal history, court ceremony and religious life for readers interested in national history. The pictures are small framed copper-plate engravings set on full pages with French captions beneath, showing crowded processions, clergy at ceremonies and formal interiors with dense hatched shading that a designer could use for period crowd compositions, ornamental captions and engraved-line studies.
