Description: Pierre Aveline Map Donkerke Dunkirk France Etching Engraving Dated 1661 Antique This is a handsome original map etching of the city of Dunkirk, France along the coast of the sea by Pierre Alexandre Aveline. This decorative and extremely rare town view of Donkerke ( Duinkerle /Dunkirk) France includes a numbered key at the lower part (1-16) to locate key structures. The text at bottom reads in part, " Fait par Aveline Avec Privildge du Roy". Pierre Aveline (Paris, c. 1656- 23 May 1722) was an engraver, print publisher and print seller. He probably trained with Adam Perelle and like him, specialized in topographical representations...like this. He engraved in suites, many views of Paris and surrounding areas, European and African cities, mixing etching and burin. In 1685 he obtained a royal licence for 10 years authorizing him to reproduce 'le profil des maisons". The text at the bottom of this etching reads, " Donkerke, ville du Comte' de Flandre Sur las Coste, de Flandre Sur La par les Espagnol...1661 Duyn Kercken" (with detailed and numbered descriptions of buildings and structures)". This etching measures 15 3/4" x 12". The plate size measures 14 1/4" x 10 1/2". The plate impression is visible. Paper is chainlink when held to the light.
