Voorsteven en boegbeeld van een zeilschip 1800 - 1801

Joseph Coiny’s “Voorsteven en boegbeeld van een zeilschip” (1800-1801) is a detailed engraving of a ship's prow and figurehead. The image provides a technical illustration of the intricate details of the ship's design, including the ornate carvings, the cannon, and the figurehead of a woman holding a child. This work demonstrates the skill of the artist in capturing the fine details of maritime architecture, likely intended for a nautical audience interested in shipbuilding or design. The engraving’s precision and clarity make it an example of technical illustration during the early 19th century, capturing a detailed rendering of the ship's figurehead and decorative features.
