Comte Louis-Joseph-Alexandre de Laborde (1773 - 1842) was a French antiquary, liberal politician and writer, and a member of the Academie des Sciences morales et politiques (1832). Laborde conceived the project of compiling a complete inventory of the archaeological heritage of France, and published his work in 1836. His luxurious publication seriously undermined his finances, but he remained a figure of high society of the French Empire. Presented here are two large reproduction prints of extra fine hand colored engravings taken from Laborde's Les Monumens De La France.
