Monumens de l'histoire de France is a late eighteenth-century French collection of engraved prints and drawings assembled by collector Jean-Louis Soulavie and published in Paris from 1783, aimed at readers of French royal history. The pages show single engraved plates set in oval or rectangular frames with French captions, some with portrait medallions of kings and emblematic scenes. A designer might borrow the restrained neoclassical framing, the medallion layouts and the formal, tightly ruled caption blocks.
