The scene conveys the adventurous spirit of nineteenth-century ocean exploration and commercial seafaring. After a design by Édouard Traviès, this engraving was published by Furne in Paris around 1840 and hand-colored at the time of publication. The elegant rendering of the ship and the atmospheric treatment of the sea make this one of the most visually compelling plates of the series. Presented and sold unframed. Framed images are for inspiration only and not always to scale. Condition: Minor age toning, occasional foxing, and binding traces along the upper edge. Overall very good with appealing original hand-coloring. See less
