  • pages: 30 volumes ;
  • language: fre ger
  • notes: Preliminary volume 10 exceptionally consists of material from a single source: ten series of portraits and the "Sommaire des temps" from a total of at least 23 that comprise "Chronologie et sommaire des souverains, pontifes, anciens pe虁res, empereurs, rois, princes, et hommes illustres." There is no general title or imprint, but published in Paris, early 17th century. The work is known as "Chronologie colle虂e" because the engraved portraits and corresponding brief letterpress biographies were intended to be assembled by the reader and pasted on pages pre-printed with decorative borders.
  • description: Jean-Louis Soulavie began compiling his collection of drawings and prints in 1783 and continued adding to it until 1811, two years prior to his death. Consisting of approximately 20,000 sheets that illustrated the history of France, the sheets were arranged in volumes titled Monumens de l'histoire de France en estampes et en dessins. The French Revolution was represented in 22 volumes and the Napoleon period in 13 volumes. The collection was purchased in 1818 by Prince Euge虁ne de Beauharnais, Duke of Leuchtenberg, and it was transported to the palace of the Duke of Leuchtenberg in Munich. A portion of the collection was brought to St. Petersburg by the widow of Beauharnais' second son, while 124 of these volumes were returned to Paris later in the 19th century. Their contents were sold in broken lots in 1903-4, the drawings being bought en bloc by Baron Edmond de Rothschild and presented by his heirs to the Louvre.
