Little is known about the royal gunmakers, Thuraine and Le Hollandois, whose pattern book remains a rare and important document of Parisian gunmaking and the leading style of firearms ornament early in the reign of Louis XIV. This sheet comes from a later edition published by Nicolas Langlois, a print publisher and print and book dealer.
