About This Item
Dublin, Ireland: James Moore, 1796. copperplate engraving. Two engravings, unmatted, on watermarked paper with chain lines. Two plates entitled 'Ship Building Fig. 30' and 'Ship Building Fig. 33', both taken from Moore's Dublin edition of The Encyclopaedia Britannica, published between 1792 and 1796. Fig. 30 (also marked as Plate CCCCLX) depicts a longitudinal view (fore to aft, starboard side) showing various water lines. Fig. 33 (also marked as Plate CCCCLXI) is a more detailed view, showing superstructure of what is evidently a three-masted ship, probably a war ship of the frigate class, as it has two levels of gun ports. The scale at the bottom of the engraving indicates the vessel is 180 feet in length. Both engravings have three vertical creases, and some creasing, spotting, and wear to the edges, else each is sharp, and in very good condition, eminently suitable for framing and presentation. Sold as lot of two for one price. Each Measures 43 x 26 cms.
