A Code That Survived
The work from which the image comes was unusually ambitious: 43 colour plates and a fold-out map of the approach to Gothenburg. In the same book, Victor Carlson noted that Frederick Marryat’s flag code had already been abandoned by both the British merchant fleet and the navy, but was still used at French semaphore stations.

The story behind the motif
Poster with a nautical illustration from 1890 showing various signaling systems for ships at sea. On the illustration we see the title texts "French telegraph system (Signaux à bras)", "Coston's night signals" and "Distant Signals".
The illustration was published with the book "Maritime Telegraph Systems, Buoys, Beacons, Tidal Signals ptr." created by Victor Carlsson, captain in the Swedish merchant navy. The book aimed to document maritime signaling systems and included 44 prints of maritime signaling systems from the time that existed around the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
Frame not included.
