Les hommes illustres qui ont paru en France pendant ce siecle : avec leurs portraits au naturel
Les hommes illustres qui ont paru en France pendant ce siecle is a 1696 Paris portrait book by Charles Perrault, with engravings by Claude Duflos, Gérard Edelinck and Sébastien Le Clerc, published by Antoine Dezallier for a French readership. The pictures are formal engraved half-length portraits in oval frames set on plain plates, each with a coat of arms medallion and a name caption beneath, offering a designer a model for period portrait layouts, cartouches and heraldic emblems.
