Wagram 115 Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) Recently, I stumbled over a contemporary drawing of the designed ornaments for this French ship-of-the-line ( https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercule_(1797) ), captured by the British in 1798 (https://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/80672.html). "Dessein de la Sculpture du Vaisseau L'hercule de 74 canons en construction dans le port de la ville de Lorient" (from an old exhibition catalogue: Ekhart Berckenhagen, Schiffe. Häfen. Kontinente. Eine Kulturgeschichte der Seefahrt, Berlin: Dietrich Reimer Verlag, 1983, p.363): The catalogue says the drawing is by Jean-Baptiste Bara, born 1763, maître-sculpteur at Lorient. It is said to be dated 1792, but the ship was ordered in 1793 only and laid down in 1794, so I don't know whether all the data is correct. Sorry, no pictures as there is no free space left for attachments and I don't know how to get free space (tried but didn't work).

He drew, for example, the project of sculpture of the frigate L'Atalante in 1812 approved by Le Déan and kept at the Archives of the Navy. Maybe replaced by Louis Hubac in 1817 as sculpteur. Archives of his naval pension : here. Edited November 19, 2019 by LeBoiteux 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried again with another picture but I just don't succeed at posting the picture directly. What do you mean by "right-click"? When I post the picture on imgur I get an url, and wherever I paste this url I'll always get the whole imgur page, never the picture alone... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeBoiteux 2,253 Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) right-click = cliquer avec le bouton droit de la souris pour faire venir le menu (cf. image) et cliquer sur 'Ouvrir l'image dans un autre onglet' : Puis tu vas dans cet autre onglet et tu copies le lien de cet onglet et tu le colles dans ton post de NA. J'imagine qu'il y a aussi une autre façon de faire mais ça marche comme ça et ça me va. Voilou 🙂 PS : j'espère avoir été clair cette fois.

Wagram 115 Posted November 29, 2019 Thank you. Well, I'm working with a MacBook which means I don't use a mouse. However, in the meantime, I found out how to "right-click" on a MacBook. I'll try next time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeBoiteux 2,253 Posted November 29, 2019 C'est ce que j'ai pensé ensuite. Sur Mac, ils appellent ça 'clic secondaire' (et non clic droit) et il faut 'toucher avec 2 doigts'. No comment... 😁 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
