This plate reproduces an in-depth technical study of a traditional canoe from Manado, located in the Celebes region. The illustration presents a profile view as well as hull plans, allowing for the analysis of the structure and stability solutions employed by local navigators of Sulawesi.
The original document belongs to the iconographic corpus of the Voyage de la corvette l’Astrolabe, published between 1830 and 1835. The work of François Edmond Pâris, naval engineer and member of the expedition, helped to visually preserve these construction techniques before the industrial transformations of the century.
This antique illustration is distinguished by its chromatic sobriety and descriptive clarity. It is particularly suited to the study of Pacific maritime traditions or sober decoration inspired by the great scientific explorations of the 19th century.
