Monumens de l'histoire de France is a late eighteenth-century collection of engraved prints and drawings assembled by collector Jean-Louis Soulavie and published in Paris from 1783, gathering royal portraits and historical scenes for readers of French history. The pictures show allegorical royal portraits, a medallion border around a central portrait of Louis XIII with a court scene, and small genre drawings; a designer could take the ornate baroque framing, oval medallion grids and formal allegorical compositions as period reference for layout and symbolic imagery.
