EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Uniform of a First Mate, Premier Maitre, French Navy, 1844 2. Description: This handcoloured woodblock print, created by Pauquet after Goyer, depicts the uniform of a First Mate, or Premier Maitre, in the French Navy during the year 1844. The image is taken from Eugene Panini's comprehensive work, "Marine, arsenaux, navires, equipages, navigation, atterages, combats," published by L. Curmer in Paris. The Premier Maitre, an essential member of the ship's officer corps, is shown wearing a smart and intricately detailed uniform. He dons a bicorn hat, adorned with a cockade and a gold band, which is a distinguishing feature of his rank. The hat sits atop a white shirt with a black waistcoat and trousers. His epaulettes, bearing the insignia of the French Navy, are prominently displayed on his shoulders. The Premier Maitre's uniform is further embellished with various accouterments, including a sword, ensign, and enseigne de vaisseau. The sword, with a hilt of gold and ivory, is slung over his right shoulder. The ensign, a decorative flag, is draped over his left arm, while the enseigne de vaisseau, a naval warrant officer's pennant, is attached to his hat. The print also showcases the intricate rigging and deck of a French naval vessel in the background, emphasizing the nautical setting of the image. This detailed representation of the Premier Maitre's uniform offers a fascinating glimpse into the appearance and hierarchy of the French Navy during the mid-19th century. 3.
