Les monumens de la monarchie françoise : qui comprennent l'histoire de France, avec les figures de chaque regne que l'injure des tems a epargnées ...
Les monumens de la monarchie françoise is a 1729 French antiquarian work by Bernard de Montfaucon, published in Paris for a learned audience interested in France's history. Its engraved plates reproduce royal and noble figures, seals and coats of arms from medieval tombs and monuments, drawn in fine black line on cream paper with a dense, orderly page layout. A designer might take from them the formal grammar of heraldic shields, crowned regal robes and seal inscriptions as period reference for historical graphics.
