Ships Rigging bow masts flags - John Lodge - London 1767
An Original Copper Plate Engraved Print on Laid Paper of a Ships Rigging from A New General Dictionary of Arts & Sciences Compleat Syftem of Univerfal Knowledge. An accompanying page (2 sided) details some ship nomenclature definitions of the period. Printed for J. Cooke, Shakespears’s Head, London in 1767.
Engraved by John Lodge who was a British Engraver and draughtsman working in London from approx. 1755 to late 1700's. He was born in London and apprenticed to Thomas Jefferys who was one of the most prominent map publishers and engravers of his era..
A very nice print which should not be confused with modern reproductions and would look very impressive if matted and framed.
The Print is in a good condition for its age of over 250 years. There is general age toning (overall browning) consistent with age and has slight foxing and marking in places especially to edges with a few small worm off of main image. The reverse of the print is blank - please see photos for condition.
