This watercoloring drawing showcases the Map of Mont-Dauphin, a formidable fortress constructed by the renowned Seigneur de Vauban around 1700. Measuring an impressive 46 x 62 cm, this antique piece of cartography takes us back to the heart of France in the 18th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this historical map, offering a glimpse into the past. The horizontal layout allows for a comprehensive view of Mont-Dauphin's strategic design and its surrounding landscape. With no people present in the image, we are left to marvel at the architectural brilliance that was characteristic of Vauban's work.
