This reproduction of an antique topographical map details the coastline extending from the port of Agay in Provence to Cape Cerve in the County of Genoa. Adorned with a wind rose and allegorical figures, this plate precisely illustrates the coastal indentation and maritime reliefs. Beige and blue tones reinforce the authentic and documentary character of this historical piece.
The original map, the work of Louis-Nicolas de Clerville dating from 1680, was commissioned by Colbert for the Recueil des cartes des costes maritimes du Royaume. It testifies to the influence of French cartography on the border areas of Savoy and Italy. The attention paid to geographical details illustrates the scientific rigor of the classical period.
Ideal for collectors of old maps or lovers of the Côte d'Azur and the Riviera, this plate brings historical elegance to any interior. It lends itself perfectly to classic framing, allowing one to contemplate the geography of yesteryear and celebrate the art of 17th-century topographical engraving.
