This reproduction of an antique illustration unveils the precise topography of the coasts of Brittany. It shows the winding layout of the coastline between Saint-Brieuc and Mont-Saint-Michel, highlighting the complexity of rivers, islands, and intertidal zones. The ornate cartouche brings a touch of refinement to this documentary study which captures the geographical essence of the 17th century.

Taken from the prestigious Recueil des cartes des côtes maritimes du Royaume published in 1680, this work is attributed to Louis-Nicolas de Clerville. Commissioned by Jean-Baptiste Colbert, this plate testifies to the scientific desire to inventory the maritime resources of France. The graphic style combines cartographic rigor and classical aesthetics, characteristic of the era of Louis XIV.

Intended for enthusiasts of maritime history and cartography, this antique print fits perfectly into careful decoration. It invites the contemplation of coastal landscapes of the past, offering a precious visual testimony to the evolution of the Breton coastline. A choice piece for collectors of historical geographical documents.
