EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th-century engraving showcases the plan of Villa de la Concepcion, also known as Penco, a charming Chilean town located on the eastern coast of the Bay of Concepcion. The meticulously detailed drawing was created by the renowned French architect Luis Amadeo Frezier in 1712, and the engraving was published in Paris in 1716. Frezier's plan provides a unique glimpse into the urban layout of this South American settlement during the early modern period. The town is arranged in a grid pattern, with streets intersecting at right angles, creating a well-organized and easily navigable urban environment. The central plaza, or "Plaza Mayor," is the focal point of the town, surrounded by public buildings, including the church and the town hall. The natural beauty of the location is also captured in the engraving, with the verdant landscape and the majestic mountain range in the background adding to the picturesque scene. The winding road leading up the mountain suggests the presence of a connection to the interior of the country, likely for trade and commerce. The plan of Villa de la Concepcion offers a fascinating insight into the history of urbanism in South America during the colonial period. Frezier's design reflects the European influence on the planning of New World settlements, while also taking into account the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the local environment. This engraving is an essential resource for scholars of architecture, urban planning, and the history of Chile and South America.
