L'Histoire de France depuis les temps les plus reculés jusqu'en 1789, racontée à mes petits-enfants ... Ouvrage illustré ... d'après les dessins d'A. de Neuville
A narrative history of France from earliest times to 1789, written by François Guizot for his grandchildren and published in Paris around 1870 with wood-engraved plates after drawings by Alphonse de Neuville. The plates stage crowded court and street scenes in light outline engraving, with figures in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century dress grouped around a central speaker, useful for period costume, interior architecture and models of how to compose a many-figured group.
