This reproduction of an antique topographical illustration describes the coasts of Marensin and Médoc with remarkable precision. The plate extends from the Etang de Contis to the mouth of the Garonne, revealing the complex structure of the Aquitaine coastline between sea, ponds, and dune vegetation. Shades of blue and brown underline the hierarchy of natural elements and the strength of the cartographic line.
Taken from the Recueil des cartes des côtes maritimes du Royaume (1680), this work was created by Louis-Nicolas de Clerville under the aegis of Jean-Baptiste Colbert. It is part of an approach of encyclopedic knowledge of the French territory. This historical context gives the plate significant patrimonial value, illustrating the aesthetics and geographical science of the 17th century.
This antique print constitutes an ideal choice for amateurs of regional history and vintage cartography. In decoration, it brings a note of distinction and knowledge, inviting detailed observation of past coastal landscapes. A careful reproduction that enhances French maritime heritage in a contemporary interior.
