Created by renowned artist Urrabieta and featured in Paul Lacroix's book "18th Century Institutions, Usages And Costumes" this illustration offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of French maritime trade.

The flags proudly displayed on these vessels represent different aspects of society - the royal flag symbolizes power and authority, while the galleon flag signifies maritime exploration and adventure.

It serves as a reminder of France's historical prominence as both a military power and an influential trading nation.
