A Vintage Ship Print (1958)
Pl. 45 -- Dutch galiot of 250 tons, 1841.
A galiot was a type of Dutch or German merchant ship of 20 to 400 tons (bm), similar to a ketch, with a rounded fore and aft like a fluyt.
This print is from a 1958 republishing of some of the most beautiful, finely-detailed,
line illustrations originally published in the 1882 François-Edmond Pâris work
"Souvenirs de marine. (ADMIRAL PARIS SOUVENIRS DE MARINE 1882).
Vice-Admiral François-Edmond Pâris, born March 6, 1806 in Paris was a French naval officer who made significant contributions to naval engineering during the transition from sail to steam.
Promoted to vice-admiral in 1864, Pâris headed the navy's archives until 1871, when he retired from naval service and became director of the Musée national de la Marine (National Museum of the Navy), where he organized the collections and acquired new items. This work led to the publishing of what many maritime historians consider his seminal work, "Souvenirs de marine conservés."
I have a number of these reproduction prints originally published in the supplemental volumes of plans for this work, first published in 1882, titled "Souvenirs de Marine. Collection de plans ou dessins de navires et de bateaux anciens ou modernes existants ou disparus avec les éléments numériques nécessaores à leur construction." (A Record of Navy: Collection of plans or drawings of vessels and of boats ancient or modern, existing or disappeared, with the numerical elements necessary for their construction.) These prints from this series range from vessels of ancient empires to the Golden Age of Sail, and include many ships of indigenous peoples of Asia, Arabia and the Americas, to are an important research tool for readers ranging from maritime historians to model ship builders

| The Nature of
Prints & Engravings: It was not until the 20th century that
prints were commonly produced for the print
itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced
as illustrations to be included in a
manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of
original prints have been over the years removed from these original
sources. |
