Scarce stipple and etching, first state. 345 x 265mm (13½ x 10½"), with wide margins. Slight crease through lower left of plate.
Louis XVIII King of France (1755 - 1824), sitting at his desk in his study, writing a “méditation sur le bonheur de la France”; in a circular frame surmounted by the allegorical image of a pelican feeding chicks on a nest. Emblems of the garde royale and the garde nationale flanking the medallion, which in turn is positioned above a pediment with bas-relief showing the changing of the guard and inscribed “Il Veille Pour Nous, Veillons Pour Lui” ("He watches over us, we watch over him"). An interesting piece of royalist propaganda published when Louis XVIII had been on the throne for less than a year since his second restoration following Napoleon's Hundred Days', in July 1815. Louis XVIII was King of France and of Navarre from 1814 to 1824 (omitting the Hundred Days). He spent twenty-three years in exile during the French Revolution and the First French Empire, living in Prussia, the United Kingdom and Russia.

Printed from two plates: aquatint portrait, stipple hand. Sheet 215 x 170mm (8½ x 6¾"). Slight soiling.
An unusual print, with a separately-printed hand reaching from a cloak on the left side of the sheet to point at the title, 'Who is she? Can Justice remain undecided?'. It is a portrait of Adélaïde Marie Rogres Lusignan de Champignelles, marquise de Douhault, widow of Louis-Joseph, Marquis de Douhault. Born in 1741 she was reported to have died at Orléans in 1788, and her attempts to reclaim her titles dragged on for some time: she petitioned both Emperor Napoleon and Louis XVIII! The paper she holds reads 'Périrai-je sans avoir recouvre mon nom?' (Must I perish without recovering my name?). Another state of this engraving has Adélaide's name rather than this enigmatic title, and the paper reads 'Requête à L'Empereur et Roi'.
