EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a cross-section of the largest width of an armed and equipped vessel from the 17th century. The illustration, taken from the renowned Atlas de Colbert, plate 44, showcases the intricate details of shipbuilding during that era. Commissioned by Jean Baptiste Colbert de Trocy with the aim to bolster the French navy and challenge Dutch maritime supremacy, this historic print offers a glimpse into naval advancements under Louis XIV's reign. The image reveals a meticulously sketched study featuring barrels, masts, cannons, and various elements essential for sailing. It provides an invaluable insight into the inner workings of these majestic vessels that once ruled the seas. Every stroke on paper tells a story of dedication and precision as sailors manned their posts while navigating treacherous waters. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry captured in pencil and watercolor on paper, we are transported back in time to an era where ships were not only means of transportation but symbols of power and dominance. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity in shipbuilding techniques employed centuries ago. Preserved at Service Historique de la Marine in Vincennes, France, this historical gem reminds us of our rich maritime heritage. Let us appreciate its significance as it stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable resource for understanding naval history during one of Europe's most influential periods.
