Monumens de l'histoire de France is a late eighteenth-century French collection of engraved prints and drawings assembled by collector Jean-Louis Soulavie, published 1783-1811 for readers interested in the nation's history and its kings. The pictures are small framed engravings of court scenes, royal events and emblematic vignettes, some with French captions and handwritten notes beneath; a designer might draw on their formal oval and rectangular cartouches, ornamental borders and neoclassical interior settings.
