Monumens de l'histoire de France is a late eighteenth-century collection of engraved historical portraits and text compiled by collector Jean-Louis Soulavie and published in Paris in 1783 for readers interested in French royalty and national history. Its pages are framed with dense decorative borders and set out in rows of oval-less bust portraits of kings, rulers and notable figures above columns of printed French text. A designer could take from these pages the model of ornate typographic frames, tidy grids of framed busts, and the period engraving style.
