Representer la ville: international colloquium, Bordeaux, France, 15-16 October 2009

摘要

This colloquium was arranged to coincide with the official publication of the Atlas historique de Bordeaux and was co-ordinated by S. Lavaud of the Universite de Bordeaux III and B. Schmidt of the Universite de Montpellier III. The first day was devoted to portraits and representations of urban ports from the medieval period through to the present day. Presenters concentrated on either engravings or maps of their sample ports. G. Fournier-Antonini compared engravings of Barcelona, Genoa and Marseilles, noting how engravers used the same viewpoints, or the view from the sea, throughout early modern times, thereby crystallizing people's perceptions of these port cities, which survived into the nineteenth century.
