Antiquités nationales, ou, Recueil de monumens : pour servir à l'histoire générale et particulière de l'empire françois, tels que tombeaux, inscriptions, statues, vitraux, fresques, etc. : tirés des abbayes, monastères, châteaux, et autres lieux devenus domaines nationaux
Antiquités nationales is a 1790 Paris antiquarian survey by Aubin Louis Millin, compiled for readers of French history and monuments drawn from abbeys and châteaux. Its plates show medieval tomb effigies, costume figures in rows, and a Gothic portal, drawn in fine black line on plain white pages. A designer could borrow the orderly grid of costume figures and the clean engraved outlines as a reference for period dress and Gothic ornament.
