La mythologie comparée avec l'histoire
La mythologie comparée avec l'histoire is a Paris mythology book of 1822 by the abbé de Tressan, published by G. Dufour and E. Docagne, comparing classical gods and allegorical figures with historical accounts. Its pictures are small oval outline engravings with numbered captions, each showing a single draped figure with a clear attribute such as a lion, a wreath, a shield, or wings, which a designer could use as a compact catalogue of classical symbolism in a neoclassical line style.
