EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Navire marchand au milieu des perils de la mer" transports us back to the 15th century when maritime trade was fraught with danger. The print, based on a woodcut from the Grand Kalendrier et compost des Bergiers, depicts a merchant ship navigating through treacherous waters. The intricate details of the ship's design showcase the craftsmanship of French sailors during this era. As waves crash against its hull, one can almost feel the tension and uncertainty that plagued these brave seafarers as they ventured into unknown territories. Printed in Troyes around 1490, this artwork offers a glimpse into France's rich history of commerce and trade. It serves as an illustration for L'Ancienne France, La Marine et Les Colonies, Commerce - a testament to the importance of naval exploration during this time period. The image captures not only the dangers faced by these merchants but also their resilience and determination to overcome adversity in pursuit of economic prosperity. It is a reminder of how crucial maritime trade was for shaping nations' destinies and connecting cultures across vast distances. Preserved in private collection today, this engraving allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in its creation and its historical significance within French culture. It stands as a tribute to those who risked everything on perilous journeys at sea in order to shape our modern world.
