This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the world of shipbuilding during the 17th century. The image showcases a detailed plan of a vessel, complete with all its floor plates, as illustrated in the Atlas de Colbert.

The intricate design of this ship's structure is evident in every line and curve depicted on the paper. It serves as a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship required to construct such vessels during that era. The pencil and watercolor medium used in creating this illustration adds depth and dimension to each plate, highlighting their importance in supporting the overall framework. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of maritime history, we are transported back to an age when ships ruled the seas and naval power symbolized national strength. The reign of Louis XIV comes alive through this visual representation, offering us insight into France's ambitions for dominance on international waters.
