| A scene from Louis XIV's 'Grand Carrousel', a festivity held at the Tuileries on the 5th June 1662. The buildings in the background are the Rue de Rivoli. One of the large double prints of the procession from "Courses de Testes et de Bague faittes par le Roy, et par les Princes et Seigneurs de sa Cour, en l'année 1662" published in Paris by the Imprimerie Royale, Sébastien Mabre-Cramoisy in 1670. Probably from "Recuiel Manifique des Estampes du Cabinet du Roy de France", 1743. |
