Galeries historiques de Versailles: dédiées à sa majesté la reine des francais: Personnage célèbres sous les règnes de Henri II à Henri IV
A French book of engraved portrait plates by Charles Gavard, published in 1843 and dedicated to Queen Marie-Amélie for the Versailles historical galleries, showing notable figures of the reigns of Henri II to Henri IV. The engravings are rotated sideways on the page, with bust-length portraits of bearded men in ruffs, caps and period dress, rendered in fine crosshatched line work a designer could draw on for historical costume and portrait study.
