Montfaucon, Bernard de, 1655-1741 · 1729 · A Paris : Chez Julien-Michel Gandouin, quai de Conti, aux trois Vertus, et [chez] Pierre-François Giffart, rue S. Jacques, à Sainte Therese · 25 pictures

A 1729 Paris history of France by Bernard de Montfaucon, published by Gandouin and Giffart for readers interested in the French monarchy and its antiquities. Its engraved plates pair restrained head-and-shoulders portraits and full-length costumed figures with crowded historical scenes, offering a designer clear models of 17th-century dress, formal portrait layout, and dense crowd engraving with simple framing rules.
