Detailed 1730 Maritime Warship Print with Tools, Rigging, and Ship Cross-Section

About the Item

Title: Detailed 1730 Maritime Warship Print with Tools, Rigging, and Ship Cross-Section Description: This exceptionally detailed and decorative maritime print, published in Nuremberg around 1730, provides a fascinating insight into the construction and layout of an 18th-century warship. The central section features a highly detailed depiction of a warship, showcasing its rigging, prow, and a cross-section of the interior, including the gundecks, keel, and other vital structural components. Surrounding the main illustration are 17 diagrams depicting smaller boats, shipbuilding tools, and essential navigational instruments such as a compass and a "quinoctial compass." The bottom of the print includes an extensive key that explains each element in meticulous detail, making this a valuable educational and decorative piece. This print was produced using an engraving technique, ensuring fine lines and intricate details. The original hand-coloring enhances its visual appeal, while the craftsmanship reflects the high standards of German cartography and engraving during the early 18th century. The work is attributed to Johann Baptist Homann, a celebrated mapmaker and engraver, further adding to its historic significance. The piece is a remarkable example of maritime art and serves as both a decorative object and a historical document. It would appeal to enthusiasts of maritime history, shipbuilding, and antique prints. Its combination of artistry and technical detail makes it a centerpiece in any collection. Condition: Near-original condition with vibrant hand-coloring and minimal traces of age. Slight edge wear consistent with its age. Matting and Framing Tips: Use acid-free materials and UV-protective glass to preserve the engraving. A neutral mat and an elegant dark wooden frame will enhance its antique charm while protecting it. Ensure adequate spacing between the print and glass using spacers or a raised mat. Display in a location free from direct sunlight and high humidity to maintain its pristine condition.
