Histoire générale de Portugal.
Histoire générale de Portugal is a French-language history of Portugal, written by Jacques Le Quien de La Neufville and printed in Paris in 1700 by Anisson, printer to the royal press, for a learned readership. Its engraved plates show formal court scenes, interiors with columns and draped figures, and cavalry battles with banners and fallen horsemen, rendered in fine parallel line work that suits designers studying early eighteenth-century historical illustration and dramatic crowd composition.
