This detailed copperplate engraving and etching from the first edition of the Encyclopédie illustrates the complexities of the building of a ship. There are industrious workers involved in tasks all over the shipyard. The scene was drawn by Louis-Jacques Goussier (1722-1799) and engraved by Robert Bénard (1734-1777).The print is presented in a gold frame with a teal-colored French mat that is embellished with an attractive gold marbled band. There is a central vertical fold, as issued. There is mild focal discoloration in the lower right portion of the print. The print is otherwise in excellent condition. less
