This reproduction of an antique engraving illustrates with sobriety the coastline of the Bay of Biscay. The plate maps the coastline from San Sebastián to Saint-Paul, highlighting the meeting between land and ocean. Soft hues and the precise layout of the coast offer a calm documentary atmosphere, characteristic of 17th-century royal geographical studies.

The original document is part of the collection commissioned by Colbert in 1680 on behalf of the Kingdom of France. The work of Louis-Nicolas de Clerville, royal engineer, demonstrates a desire for an exhaustive census of the coasts. This plate testifies to the rigorous graphic style of the era, where every sandbank and every rock was scrupulously noted for navigation.

Intended for collectors of maritime prints and history enthusiasts, this antique print brings a touch of authenticity to any decoration. It is particularly suited for exhibition in a study or a living room, offering a support for reflection on ancient navigation and the evolution of European maritime borders.
