Description

A reproduction of a photograph of "Description du Laboratoire des capuchins du Louvre" (Laboratory of the capuchins at the Louvre). The original is a fold-out engraving that was published in Mercure Galant, December 1678. The men depicted in the illustration are capuchin friars (one of the offshoots of the Franciscan Order), Henri Rousseau de Montbazon (1643–1694) and Nicolas Aignan (1644–1709). They came to be called the “Louvre Capuchins” because they were given a laboratory at Louvre palace to produce remedies not only for the court, but also for the sick poor of Paris.
