Handsome pair of engravings. First "Vaisseau portant toutes ses voiles" shows a heavily laden, three masted frigate, with twenty-four guns. The second "Troisieme Figure de la Coupe d'un Vaisseau du premier rang" shows the same ship in a cut-away view. Both engraved by J.P. Le Bas. They are slightly different sizes.
