EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a French brulot, an 18th-century fire ship, in all its glory. The image is taken from the renowned publication Les Francais Illustres by Gustave Demoulin, published in Paris in 1898. The print beautifully captures the concept of conflict and war as this formidable vessel sails through the waters with billowing smoke engulfing its surroundings. The French brulot was a fearsome weapon used during battles at sea. Its purpose was to set enemy ships ablaze by ramming into them or using flaming projectiles. This engraving transports us back to a time when these vessels played a crucial role in naval warfare. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to the scene, emphasizing the dramatic sky above and contrasting against the calmness of the water below. It serves as a reminder of France's rich maritime history and their strategic use of fire ships during times of war. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported to an era where transportation on water held immense significance for countries like France. The attention to detail in this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved and gain insight into how these magnificent vessels were constructed. Overall, this print is not only visually stunning but also offers valuable insights into French military tactics during the 18th century. A true gem from Gustave Demoulin's Les Francais Illustres collection that captivates viewers with its portrayal of battle on high seas.
