ENGRAVING BY COCHIN AND LE BAS AFTER THE CELEBRATED SERIES OF PAINTINGS OF FRENCH PORTS BY CLAUDE-JOSEPH VERNET. Louis XV commissioned Vernet, in 1753, to paint views of the main ports of France, bestowing upon him the exceptional title of 'Peintre des marines de Sa Majesté'. Vernet spent twelve years travelling around the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Channel. The country was at war with England at the time, and Louis specifically requested that the artist show off the economic activities and maritime strength of France, which Vernet did to much acclaim. The majority of the paintings are now held in the Musée de la Marine in Paris.
