EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving, titled "The City of Dunkirk during the Spanish occupation" takes us back in time to Amsterdam in 1649. Created by the talented artist Joan Blaeu, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling city of Dunkirk under Spanish rule. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to the inner harbor and magnificent cathedral that dominate the top portion of the image. The intricate details beautifully capture the architectural grandeur and religious significance of this historic site. Moving our gaze downwards, we are greeted with an extensive cityscape showcasing vibrant streets filled with life and activity. Ships and boats gracefully navigate through the waters as passengers eagerly embark on their journeys. This bustling scene speaks volumes about Dunkirk's importance as a thriving port city during this period. One cannot help but notice a fleet of naval vessels stationed near the harbor, reminding us of Dunkirk's strategic military significance. The presence of troops and armed forces hints at past battles fought within these very walls. This remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images is not only visually stunning but also serves as a historical document capturing an important moment in time. It allows us to reflect upon how cities like Dunkirk have evolved over centuries while preserving their rich cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate.
