EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Giarre and Stanghi for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1847, offers a fascinating glimpse into the naval technology and design of the 18th century. The central focus of the image is the hull of a Royal Naval frigate, proudly flying its flags and standards as it cuts through the water. The intricate details of the frigate's hull are expertly rendered, from the curved lines of the bow to the ornate carvings adorning the stern. To the left of the frigate, a cannon is depicted, its barrel gleaming in the sunlight. The cannonballs are arranged neatly beside it, ready to be loaded and fired. This weapon was a crucial component of naval warfare during this period, and its inclusion in the image underscores the military might of the Royal Navy. To the right of the frigate, a section through the hull of a steamboat is shown. This innovative technology was just beginning to revolutionize transportation on water during the 18th century, and the inclusion of a steamboat in the image demonstrates Ferrario's forward-thinking approach. The intricate machinery of the steam engine is depicted in great detail, from the boiler to the pistons and cylinders. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the image, bringing the various elements to life and making it a true work of art. This engraving is not only a historical record of naval technology during the 18th century but also a beautiful illustration of the fashion and design of the time.
