EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ms 327 fol. 293v Surveying a river" transports us back in time to witness the meticulous work of surveyors in medieval France. The image captures a moment from Arnaud de Villeneuve's renowned manuscript, "Traite d'Arpentage" created between 1240 and 1312. In this scene, we see a male surveyor intently focused on measuring and assessing the course of a majestic river. Equipped with his gothic-style instruments, he carefully navigates the banks while studying the flow and contours of the waterway. His tools serve as extensions of his expertise, allowing him to gather precise measurements essential for land management and engineering projects. The vellum material adds an air of authenticity to this historical artifact, showcasing both its age and significance. Preserved within the Bibliotheque Inguimbertine in Carpentras, France, this piece offers invaluable insights into medieval surveying techniques. Bertrand Boysset's skillful reproduction brings this ancient practice to life once again. Through his lens, we are transported into an era where meticulous craftsmanship was required for every task at hand. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its testament to human ingenuity throughout history.
