The plan clearly highlights the famous \u003cb\u003eVille Close\u003c\/b\u003e, the island citadel, which constitutes the defensive heart of Concarneau, and shows the fortifications and port facilities of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe presence of a detailed legend in the lower left corner (the \"renvoi\") allows for the identification of key buildings, roads, anchorages, and different neighborhoods, offering a valuable insight into the urban and military organization of the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is characteristic of the cartography of military engineers or hydrographers: it presents a \u003cb\u003egreat topographical precision\u003c\/b\u003e and a careful execution. The \u003cb\u003ehand-coloring\u003c\/b\u003e highlights the different elements: blue for water and the coastline, pink for buildings (the Ville Close and the Faubourg), and green for the surrounding vegetation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe presence of a detailed \u003cb\u003ecompass rose\u003c\/b\u003e on the water surface adds an ornamental touch and anchors this document in the tradition of marine cartography. It is a rare archival piece that combines historical value and graphic charm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cartopolo","offers":[{"title":"50 x 70 cm \/ Creative paper 200 gsm","offer_id":52792469717335,"sku":"CONCAR1681","price":34.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"70 x 100 cm \/ Creative paper 200 gsm","offer_id":52792469750103,"sku":null,"price":59.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/7854\/4418\/files\/concarneau-affiche.jpg?v=1760957531","url":"https:\/\/cartopolo.fr\/en\/products\/affiche-vintage-concarneau-1681","provider":"Cartopolo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
