EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the maritime world of Bordeaux. The illustration, titled "Small boats, Bordeaux" is part of the collection "Desseins des differentes manieres de Vaisseaux" (Designs of Different Types of Ships) from 1679. In this detailed pencil and watercolor sketch, we see several small boats gracefully navigating the waters of Bordeaux's port. Each vessel is meticulously depicted with its oars, masts, and sails beautifully captured by the skilled French artist. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility as these flat-bottomed barques glide through the calm harbor. It transports us to an era when trade and commerce thrived under Louis XIV's reign in France. This artwork holds historical significance as it was included in Atlas Colbert, a comprehensive collection commissioned by Jean-Baptiste Colbert to document various aspects of French naval architecture during that time. Preserved at Service Historique de la Marine in Vincennes, France, this image showcases both artistic talent and technical expertise. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on ship design during this period. Whether you are captivated by maritime history or simply appreciate fine artistry, this exquisite print offers a window into Bordeaux's rich seafaring heritage.
