EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of the Map of Dunkirk, dating back to 1724, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Created by an unknown artist in the 18th century, this detailed drawing measures 39x61 cm and is housed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK.
Part of an atlas featuring seventeen plans of French ports, this particular map showcases Dunkirk with intricate precision. The scale of approximately 1:6,400 allows for a thorough examination of the city's layout, complete with soundings and a compass rose indicating North at 110 degrees.
Originally belonging to Jean-Frederic Phelypeaux, Comte de Maurepas - who later served as Ministre de la Marine - this map holds historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It provides valuable insight into the geography and cartography of France during that period.
The vibrant colors used in this watercolor painting bring life to the streets and landmarks depicted on the map. From Vue de Dunkerque to other notable locations in Hauts-de-France region, every detail has been meticulously captured by the skilled hands of the artist.
As we admire this piece of art from centuries past, we are reminded of how maps serve not only as navigational tools but also as windows into history and culture.
