Galeries historiques de Versailles: dédiées à sa majesté la reine des francais: Personnage célèbres sous le règne de Louis XIII
A French engraved portrait gallery compiled by Charles Gavard in 1843 and dedicated to Queen Marie-Amélie of the French, presenting notable figures of Louis XIII's reign at the Versailles galleries. The plates are rotated on the page, and each shows a single bust-length sitter in seventeenth-century dress, with lace collars, ruffs and curled hair rendered in fine line engraving that a designer could draw on for period costume and portrait framing.
