EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Map of the Canal du Midi, with its aqueducts" takes us back to 1717 and offers a glimpse into the intricate waterways of France. Created by Jean-Baptiste Nolin, this map is a true testament to his skill as an engraver and cartographer. The map showcases the Grand Canal (Canal du Midi) as it winds through the dioceses of Narbonne, Beziers, Agde all the way to the pond of Thau. It provides a detailed view of not only the canal itself but also highlights the cuts of various aqueducts that cross over it. Extracted from Nolin's renowned atlas "Le Theatre du Monde" this piece holds historical significance as it was created during a time when canals were vital for transportation and trade. The precision and attention to detail in capturing every bridge, canal path, and aqueduct make this print an invaluable resource for understanding France's waterway infrastructure in the 18th century. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully preserved this piece from her private collection. Through her efforts, we are able to appreciate Nolin's craftsmanship and gain insight into how these waterways shaped life in Languedoc-Roussillon region during that era. This engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an important historical document – reminding us of our past while inspiring curiosity about how far we have come in terms of engineering marvels like canals and aqueduct
