Lemovicum is the Latin name for Limoges, and Topographia Liminiae translates to ‘Topography of Limousin’, the historical province in France where these cities are located.

France in the early 17th century was a country still recovering from the religious wars of the previous century. The monarchy was weak and the nobility held significant power. The economy was primarily agricultural and the country still relied heavily on feudalism. This was also the time of the famous “Sun King,” Louis XIV, who ascended to the throne in 1643 at the age of four and would go on to rule for over 70 years, transforming France into a dominant European power.

Giclée Print Feedback:

Absolutely stellar service! Whilst I was considering my purchase Callum was extremely helpful and friendly, taking the time to actually talk to me rather than keep to business – how refreshing and genuine! I made my purchase quite late in the evening and was surprised to receive notification that it had been dispatched the following day! Lo and behold, I received the print within 48 hours – a remarkably quick turnaround!

Certainly no need to worry about Christmas delivery times! As for the print I bought – perfect… exceptional quality, with fine detail captured without fault. It’s on nice thick paper and packaged with care. I’ll definitely be back for more – I’ve already eyed up my next one!
