EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning woodblock print, titled "Marine, arsenaux, navires, equipages, navigation, atterages, combats," is a captivating depiction of 18th and 19th century sailors gathered in front of a beautifully decorated ship's stern. The print, created by J. Beruce after the original work of Claude-Nicolas-Eugene Guillaumot, is a testament to the grandeur and intricacy of the French Navy during this era. The sailors, dressed in their formal uniforms, stand at attention, their expressions serious and proud. The admiral, identified by his distinctive bicorn hat and epaulettes, stands at the center, his sash adorned with the insignia of his high rank. The other sailors wear similar uniforms, complete with breeches, waistcoats, and gloves. Each man holds a map or chart, indicating their role in the navigation and exploration of the seas. The ship's stern, adorned with intricate carvings and ornate decorations, looms behind them. The ship's name, "Morel Fatio," is emblazoned across the stern, along with the insignia of the French Navy. The print is hand-colored, adding an extra layer of detail and vibrancy to the already impressive scene. The military precision and discipline of the sailors are evident in their posture and uniforms. The print also showcases the advanced technology and craftsmanship of the ships of the French Navy during this period. Overall, this woodblock print is a fascinating glimpse into the history of naval warfare and exploration during the 18th and 19th centuries.
