A Dutch flagship furling her sails

A port quarter view of a Dutch ship, this is an offset image taken from the same original as PAE5244. Alongside PAE5244, this sheet belongs to a group of five images, all worked up from offsets (see also PAF6871, PAF6872 and PAF6873). Inscribed: ‘W.V.V J’. A pencil inscription on the back identifies a previous owner: ‘No. 38 from the Howard Coll.’
