Histoire de Turenne / par l'abbé Raguenet

Raguenet, François, 1660?-1722 · 1861 · Tours : Ad. Mame et Cie. · 1 picture

A French children's biography of the seventeenth-century marshal Turenne, written by the abbé François Raguenet and published by Mame in Tours in 1861 for young readers. The picture is a small hand-coloured scene framed by embossed gilt and turquoise decoration, showing a uniformed boy and a standing man in an interior with a doorway and a chair; a designer could borrow the gilt-embossed frame and the bright, flat colour palette for decorative borders.
