Recveil De Portraits Des personnes qui se sont distinguées tant dans les armes que dans les belles Lettre et les arts Comme aussi la famille Royale de France Et autres Cours Etrangeres
A French engraved portrait collection of 1725 by Étienne Jehandier Desrochers and Gilles Edme Petit, compiled for a readership interested in notable French soldiers, writers, artists and the royal family and foreign courts. The four plates show crowned and bewigged men in oval frames over lettered cartouches, with fine engraved hatching on fur mantles, armour collars and curled hair that a designer could borrow for period typography or heraldic-style framing.
