Subjects: Epitaphs; Monuments; Memorials
Notes: This suite is reproduced and discussed in Christine Debrie Nicolas Blasset: architecte et Sculpteur Ordinaire du Roi 1600-1659, Paris, Nouvelles {OCLCbr90}ditions Latines, [1985] (p.[338]-44, pl. 77-83). According to Debrie, Blasset's career must have been well-advanced by the time the monuments were designed. The whole suite was copied and published by Jeremias Wolff of Augsburg in 1725 (i.e. posthumously? Wolff died in 1724). Reversed copies of all except plate [3] also appear in Robert Pricke's collection The ornaments of architecture, 1674 (q.v.).
