Beskrivning

This finely detailed copperplate engraving presents a panoramic view of Bergue Saint-Vinox (modern-day Bergues) with its distinctive skyline of spires and towers rising above cultivated marshlands. The composition is framed by trees and farmland in the foreground, with decorative ribbon cartouche labeling the city above. Executed with the characteristic clarity and architectural precision of Sébastien de Pontault de Beaulieu, the engraving belongs to a series documenting French cities and fortresses during the reign of Louis XIV. It exemplifies Beaulieu’s cartographic style combining topographical accuracy with elegant design, offering both military insight and visual appeal.
