Description
Scarce antique island map by Christophe N. Tassin from 1636. Depicts the Fort of Bregancon near Toulon which is the official retreat for the President of France. The island today looks very much the same as this coperplate engraved view created more than 360 years ago . Published in the small-sized atlas "Les Plans et profils de toutes les principales villes et lieux considerables de France" by Christophe Nicholas Tassin (d. 1660) . Tassin's background was as a military engineer, and he is best known for his nautical atlas of 30 sheets, dedicated to Richelieu, documenting France's coastline. Tassin's work contains topographic maps, often of militarily important sites, either sketched on site, composed from firsthand drawings by military engineers, or sometimes borrowed from other mapmakers. Contemporary hand color.
