130 Jaques Gabriel Huquier – View of the Strait and Town of Gibraltar
This hand-coloured engraving by Jaques Gabriel Huquier presents a detailed panoramic view of the town and strait of Gibraltar, located in Andalusia, historically part of Spain but under British control since 1704. The image captures the fortified coastal town with its prominent hilltop fortress and anchored ships in the bay, reflecting the geopolitical importance of Gibraltar in the 18th century.
Huquier, a French engraver and publisher, was known for his scenic and architectural views that combined artistic charm with documentary precision. This work was printed in Paris by Huquier fils and sold at his shop “chez lui,” rue St. Jacques, as part of a series depicting cities under foreign rule.
