Model of the Sterns of Two Different Frigates 1831

This anonymous, wooden model from 1831, depicting the sterns of two different frigates, is a fascinating example of a ship model. The intricate details of the ship's stern, including the windows, gun ports, and decorative carvings, are rendered with remarkable precision. This model would have served an important purpose in its time, perhaps as a teaching tool, a design study, or even as a decorative piece. The use of wood as the primary material gives the model a realistic and tactile quality.
