IN LIEU OF LOUIS (1789 – 1870) lists a true historical succession of French rulers who reigned from 1789 to 1870. During that time, amazingly, every other king was named Louis. The list is written in prose style, as if it were excerpted from a history book. The edition was self-published for an exhibition in 1996 at Art Concept in its former location of Nice.
