EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Ms. 988 T. III fol. 42 Map of the environs of the town and castle of Oleron" from the renowned Atlas of Louis XIV. Created by Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban, a distinguished military engineer of the 17th century, this pen, ink, and gouache masterpiece offers a glimpse into the strategic fortifications surrounding Oleron's town and castle. Located on an island in the Atlantic off France's western coast, Oleron holds great historical significance in maritime legal history. It was here that Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine promulgated the Rolls of Oleron (also known as "Judgments of Oleron" and "Rules of Oleron"), which marked the first formal statement of maritime or admiralty laws in northwestern Europe. The map itself is adorned with intricate details depicting ships sailing through mercury-like waters under Hermes' watchful eye. The star defense design employed by Vauban for fortifying the citadel exemplifies his expertise in military engineering. With its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, this print transports viewers to a time when maritime law was being shaped on this very island. A true testament to Vauban's mastery and attention to detail, this piece serves as both a visual delight and an educational window into France's naval past.
