While the Abbé Henri-Armand Proust lies in winter cold in the cemetery outside the walls of the cité idéale, he seems nonetheless to be keeping abreast with the latest in information technology and home decor.
He scanned his new copy of the Tassin plan of the town (engraved in 1630) in high definition (1200 pixels/inch) and used Photoshop to clean up around the cartouche. The original cartouche graphic itself is only about two inches square.
Then he made a dense jpg file. He then sent this off to a company who can print digital files onto canvas and mount the result on timber stretchers. They did a grand job!
Here below the rather elegant results.
Do any of his parishoners want a similar panel for themselves? - the Abbé can easily order more - maybe in support of the Fonds de Dotation and the imminent restoration of the so-called Tour Sainte Anne….
