Bilder Isaac de Beaulieu – View of Mont Cassel, France – Copper Engraving (1667)

Beskrivning

This finely executed 17th-century copper engraving presents a panoramic view of Mont Cassel (now Cassel, in northern France), a historic hilltop town known for its strategic and cultural significance. At the summit sits the château, prominently labeled, surrounded by windmills, churches, and clustered buildings descending along the hillside. The engraving is captioned Mont-Cassel in a ribbon cartouche and features detailed rural foregrounds with grazing figures and livestock.

Created by Isaac de Beaulieu in 1667, this print belongs to a body of topographical engravings that recorded notable towns and landmarks in France with remarkable clarity and proportion. The clean layout and broad margins suggest it was intended for inclusion in an atlas or similar geographic compendium.
