The story behind the motif
Poster with a unique nautical illustration from 1890 showing various sea marks and buoys for navigation in various canals and waterways in and around the Netherlands, Belgium and France. Each seamark is depicted with its appearance and location.
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.
