Description
l'Instrument de marine, de J. Randier, Ed. MDV, 21 cm x 27.5 cm, relié avec 222 pages couleurs
This hardcover book with 222 color pages presents navigation tools and marine instruments.
The book traces at the same time the fascinating epic of the sea pioneers, in their insatiable search for ways to navigate and locate themselves across the vastness of the oceans.
As marine instruments were perfected, the art of navigation, thanks to them, led to the geographic conquest of the globe.
An abundantly documented reference work, this precious guide, as much for the historian as for the collector or the simple curious, is a veritable encyclopedia of on-board navigation equipment.
