This reproduction of an antique map details the coastline of Picardy, extending from Nieuport to Audresselles. This maritime illustration is distinguished by the precision of its coastal layout, highlighting sand and mud flats at low tide. A classic ornamental cartouche underlines the rigor of this topographical study, where shades of beige, blue, and green restore the documentary aesthetic of 17th-century surveys.

Taken from the prestigious Recueil des cartes des costes maritimes du Royaume published in 1680, this work was created by the engineer Louis-Nicolas de Clerville under the impetus of Jean-Baptiste Colbert. This ambitious project aimed to accurately record the defenses and geography of the French coasts. The graphic style reflects the excellence of royal cartography of the era, combining strategic utility with the artistic finesse characteristic of Ancien Régime scientific prints.

Intended for lovers of maritime history and ancient cartography, this reproduction brings a historical and scholarly dimension to an interior. It lends itself perfectly to a collection or refined wall decoration, inviting the contemplation of coastal landscapes as they were perceived in the Grand Siècle. Its iconographic value makes it a precious testimony to the evolution of the French geographical outline.
