EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite xylography, or woodcut print, depicts a detailed map of the French city of Roses, also known as Roses de France, and the nearby Trinidad fortress. The map, created during the 18th century, showcases the urban layout of the city with its winding streets, fields, and gardens. The intricate design highlights the city's harbor, where ships are anchored, ready to trade goods with other European powers. In the background, the imposing Trinidad fortress stands proudly, a symbol of French military strength and dominance. The fortress, with its white walls and towering bastions, was built to protect the city from potential invaders. The map also includes a key, which identifies various landmarks within the city, such as the Church of Saint-Nicolas, the Town Hall, and the Marketplace. The meticulous craftsmanship of this woodcut print is evident in the intricate details of the boats, the city walls, and the fortress. The use of woodcut techniques adds a unique texture and depth to the image, making it a beautiful and historically significant piece. This xylography is a testament to the rich history of Roses, a city that was once a thriving trading hub in the Mediterranean. The image captures the essence of the city's urban landscape, its strategic location, and its military might, all in one stunning visual representation.
