EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of "Navigation des rivieres" from Oisivetes de M, volume IV of Ms 260. Created by the renowned French military engineer Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban in the 17th century, this engraving is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of river navigation. The image depicts a serene landscape with lush trees lining the banks of a tranquil river. In the foreground, we see boats being unloaded and loaded with goods while a male figure pulls on ropes to guide a tugboat through the water. The scene exudes an atmosphere of industry and transport as these vessels navigate their way along the river's course. Vauban's treatise on river navigation is widely regarded for its technical expertise and practical insights into optimizing transportation routes. This frontispiece serves as an introduction to his comprehensive work, inviting readers to delve into his wealth of knowledge on this subject. Preserved by France's Ministry of Defense - Service Historique de l Armee de Terre, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into Vauban's genius mind and his contributions to engineering and infrastructure development during his time. As we admire this remarkable print captured by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also recognize its significance in documenting an important aspect of our history – one that has shaped how rivers have been utilized for commerce and trade throughout centuries.
