This print takes us back to the 18th century in Rochefort, France. Serving as the main port for supplying France's overseas possessions, this bustling city was at the heart of colonial trade and exploration. The image is a glimpse into a bygone era, showcasing the vibrant maritime activity that defined this historic period. Published in Paris in 1875 as part of "XVIII Siecle Institutions, Usages Et Costumes" this illustration offers an authentic depiction of life in Rochefort during its heyday. With meticulous attention to detail, Ken Welsh captures the essence of this significant French port.
