17th Century Topographical Engraving Nantes & St. Malo, France, by Iohan Peeters
About the Item
The ancient city of Saint Malo in North Western France has long been associated with adventure on the high seas, piracy and exploration. It was the birthplace of several important international explorers- Jacques Cartier (1491–1557), explorer of Canada, Jacques Gouin de Beauchene (1652–1730), explorer of the Falkland Islands and René Duguay-Trouin (1673–1736) the corsair and Admiral who captured the city of Rio de Janeiro in 1711. Fittingly, the famous transatlantic yacht race, Route du Rhum, which takes place every four years, is between Saint Malo and Point-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe. Also of note, François-René de Chateaubriand (1768–1848), the influential writer, historian and diplomat hailed from Saint Malo.
Nantes, of interest to fine wine afficionados, is a Loire Valley city highly regarded for its production of fine Muscadet wine. It is also home to historic cathedrals, beautiful gardens and the Chateau des Ducs de Bretaigne. The present engraving shows a Seventeenth Century view of Ile de Nantes surrounded by the Loire River.
Travel, exploration, culinary, wine interest.
