About this work

This hand-colored lithographic plate, titled Barques du Nil, shows several Nile river boats with billowing cloth sails, along with detailed diagrams of rudders, masts, and hull components labeled in French and Arabic. Two sailing vessels are depicted on rippling water with a low shoreline behind them, while a larger boat in the upper right is shown with its rigging and mast.
