New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
What font(s) come closest to the ones depicted here, copy-pasted from two 18-century paintings? Not sure whether the two fonts are the same. This is for an event poster, and I would like to work with a font similar to these.
Much appreciated!

Cochin or Nicolas Cochin will get you in the ballpark. You'll have to modify some letters to get the long s and swash A.
