Smoke billows from a cooking stove behind a smaller boat — each inside the large galley towards the middle. This was printed as part of a series of 17 folio copperplate engravings of French and Turkish vessels active in the Mediterranean executed by Claude Randon after drawings by French naval officer Henri Sbonski de Passebon. The prints were first published as Plan de Plusieurs B\u00e2timens de Mer avec leurs proportions <\/strong>in Marseille, the port where de Passebon was stationed as a Lieutenant in the French Navy with the galley fleet in the late 17th century during Louis XIV’s reign. The work was commissioned by and dedicated to Louis Auguste de Bourbon, Lieutenant General of the French Army and Navy in the Levant (Eastern Mediterranean). A later version of de Passebon’s set of plates was engraved and printed by Pieter Mortier in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n Product description continues below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":24212,"template":"","meta":{"wds_primary_product_brand":0,"wds_primary_product_cat":0,"footnotes":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[6813,901],"product_tag":[7048,41,5845,1003,501,8166,1004,690,8196,8197,3642],"class_list":{"0":"post-24206","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-maritime-history","7":"product_cat-military","8":"product_tag-antique-print","9":"product_tag-french","10":"product_tag-galley","11":"product_tag-marine","12":"product_tag-maritime","13":"product_tag-maritime-print","14":"product_tag-nautical","15":"product_tag-naval","16":"product_tag-passebon","17":"product_tag-randon","18":"product_tag-sailboat","19":"post","20":"post-with-thumbnail","21":"post-with-thumbnail-large","23":"first","24":"instock","25":"purchasable","26":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/24206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/24206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28136,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/24206\/revisions\/28136"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24212"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=24206"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=24206"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=24206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
