EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of history, the "Ms. 988 Vol. 3, fol. 61 Louis XIV Atlas, map and plan of Marseille". Created between 1683-88 by the talented engraver Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban, this artwork offers a glimpse into the coastal city's past glory during the reign of Louis XIV. The intricate details captured in this engraving transport us back to Marseille's bustling port in the late 17th century. The Mediterranean Sea stretches out before us, its azure waters reflecting the vibrant hues of boats and ships that dot its surface. Soldiers stand tall on deck, their presence a testament to France's military might during this era. Vauban's masterful craftsmanship is evident in every stroke as he meticulously depicts not only the cityscape but also various landmarks and structures that defined Marseille at that time. From imposing fortifications to elegant architecture lining the coast, each element tells a story of power and grandeur. As we admire this historical treasure, it is important to note that it belongs to Min. Defense - Service Historique de l Armee de Terre in France and is now out of copyright restrictions. This remarkable image allows us to appreciate both artistry and history simultaneously while reminding us of Marseille's enduring significance as a prominent Mediterranean port city.
