This piece offers a rare, bird’s-eye perspective of the medieval fortress and the bustling town nestled along the Vienne River.
The engraving features a detailed alphabetical key (A-T), identifying the 'Paroisse de St Étienne' and the formidable walls of the Château where the course of French history was forever changed. A perfect blend of scientific mapping and artistic flair, this print captures the late-Baroque obsession with order and perspective. Whether you are a lover of French history or a collector of fine cartography, this 250-year-old view is a window into a world of pre-Revolutionary France.
