Les Hommes Illustres Qui Ont Paru En France pendant ce Siecle: Avec leurs Portraits au naturel
A 1700 French collection of engraved portraits of notable men of the century, compiled by Charles Perrault and adapted by Antoine Dezallier, issued for readers wanting likenesses of France's distinguished figures. The engravings show oval-framed busts of men in period dress, with cartouche captions, a feigned oval border and a small heraldic medallion below each sitter, a sober template a designer could adapt for formal framing and commemorative layouts.
