This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Map of the city and citadel of Port Louis, dating back to the 18th century. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this map is now housed in the Bibliotheque municipale in Rennes, France. The image was captured by Leonard de Selva, a talented photographer who has beautifully preserved this architectural gem for generations to come. The map offers us a glimpse into the past, revealing intricate details of both the city and its fortified citadel. Every street and building is meticulously depicted, allowing us to imagine what life was like during that era. It serves as a testament to the artistry and precision that went into cartography during this period. Port Louis itself exudes charm with its Breton influence evident in every corner. This coastal city located in Brittany, France holds centuries-old secrets within its walls. The fortifications surrounding it speak volumes about its strategic importance at that time. Leonard de Selva's expert photography captures not only the historical significance but also highlights the beauty found within this ancient map. With his keen eye for detail and composition, he brings out textures and colors that make this print truly mesmerizing. As we admire this photograph print today, we are transported back to a time long gone but not forgotten – an era where maps were more than just navigational tools; they were works of art themselves.
