(60.5 x 46.5cm.), This splendid and impressively-sized production represents the most important work of naval architecture of the 18th century, surpassing Jombert, Duchamel du Monceau and other works by naval architects. An Englishman, Frederick Henry Chapman (1721-1808) was manager of the shipyard at Karlskrona and, under the direction of Gustav III, was the founder of the modern Swedish navy. This first edition (there were several printed later) is rare, partly owing to its practical use in shipyards of the period.
