Recueil de cent estampes representant differentes nations du Levant, gravées sur les tableaux peints d'après nature en 1707 & 1708, par les ordres de M. de Ferriol, ambassadeur du roi a la porte, et mis au jour en 1712 & 1713 par les soins de M. Le Hay
A hundred engraved plates published in Paris in 1712 and 1713, after paintings Jean-Baptiste Vanmour made from life in Constantinople in 1707 and 1708 for the French ambassador Ferriol, edited by Le Hay for collectors of costume and foreign peoples. The pictures are standing full-length figures of Levantine and Ottoman types against plain architectural backdrops, with hand-coloured washes that a designer could draw on for period dress, textile patterns, and the cut of robes and turbans.
