Two nice copper engravings of ships within one border. The first is a detailed cutaway of large ship at the main mast that shows 5 deck levels. Details include how the mast is stepped, planking and beams. The second is a remarkable birds-eye-view of a large three-masted ship on a huge floating dry-dock. On a fine sheet of hand laid paper with nice watermark and lovely later color. A very graphic image that will display well.
