Calendrier royal indiquant le cours du soleil 1706. Print shows Louis XIV sitting on a box with fan-shaped back in the centre of a sun. The numerous rays of the sun document indignities attributed to the King between 1667 and 1705, such as: 'Adulterer avec Me. de Montespan en 1670' - 'Legitimer des enfans batards, le Pr. du Maine, son fils et de Me. de Montespan en 1673' - 'Inceste avec le femme du Dauphin en 1680' - 'Corrompre le Prince Louis de Bade en 1705 &c' and 'Sacrilege dans l'Allemagne, l'Italie &c 1705 &c.' Also, notes the eclipse of 12 May 1706.
