EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Ms Fr 150 fol. 21r The Utilisation of the Sextant" takes us back in time to the 16th century, showcasing a remarkable piece of maritime history. Created by Jacques De Vaulx, a renowned pilot of Le Havre, this pen and ink drawing offers an intriguing glimpse into the world of navigation and surveying. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the sextant, a vital instrument used for measuring angular distances at sea. With its graduated arc spanning 60 degrees, it enabled sailors to determine their position accurately by reflecting light off mirrors. This indispensable tool allowed seafarers to navigate treacherous waters with precision and confidence. Surrounded by other nautical equipment such as compasses and plumb lines, this illustration transports us aboard a ship where skilled mariners meticulously calculated their course using these instruments. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and expertise required for successful voyages during that era. Preserved in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork not only showcases De Vaulx's talent but also provides valuable insight into historical maritime practices. As we admire this fine art print from Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate the dedication and skill that went into charting uncharted territories centuries ago.
