A micrographic drawing of Marie Anne Victorie, the Dauphine of France on a horse-drawn chariot surrounded by illustrations of allegorical figures. Images include an angel, a lion with a royal crest, cherubs, and a man symbolizing Hercules. The drawing is formed entirely of microscopic text from an accompanying volume containing 221 folios of an Italian poem by Ignatio Francesco Muligin honoring the Dauphine. The drawing's letters are read horizontally with a microscope or magnifying glass. The volume is in contemporary binding of red morocco with gilt spine and edges. Drawing possibly illustrated by Pierre Mignard (1612-1695), and volume bound by Bernard Bernache (active 1684-1721).
