Four etched plates (of eight) each c. 185 x 560mm (7¼ x 22"), with very large margins.
Part of a record of one of the processions of 'The Grand Carrousel', a three-day festivity organised by the young king Louis XIV in June 1662. The participants were divided into teams dressed as Native Americans, Romans, Persians, Indians and Turks, and would compete in equestrian events before an audience of 15,000 in the Tuilleries palace, Paris. This huge view was engraved by Israel Silvestre (1621-91), probably after François Chauveau (1613-76) who drew and engraved portraits of individual riders for Charles Perrault's 'Courses de Testes et de Bague Faittes Par Le Roy et par Les Princes et Seigneurs de sa Cour En l'Année 1662'.
