"Eglise de la Maison professe des Jésuites de Paris, rue Saint-Antoine, 4ème arrondissement, Paris"

Print image of Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis created shortly after the church’s construction was completed. At the bottom is a caption written in French that identifies the building as a professed house of the Jesuit Order and credits directly Cardinal Richelieu for its founding. Richelieu was a distinguished member of both the Catholic hierarchy and the governing structure of the Ancien Régime, and was considered to be one of France’s most powerful men during his lifetime.
