The concession shop in the Paris maritime museum sells 2 rather expensive (~100€) volumes, with same name and same author, but probably different editions. They cover in great detail the historic ship models in the museum. One of those two volume had on its cover a photo of the model of the never-built French 1st rate Ship of the line San Peril. I meant to look for it through inter-libaray loan. I lost the slip on which I had written down the name and the author of these volumes. Does anyone know of these books and can supply me with the name and title.
Jean Boudriot Title is Historic Ship Models-The Musee de la Marine Collection?
Yes, that’s the one. Thank you.
There are two books, both by Jean Boudriot “Historic Ship Models Musee de la Marine”, ISBN 0-9755772-2-0 (in collaboration with Hubert Berti)which starts with overviews of masting and rigging, lines plans and a vocabulary of nautical terms. The first model described is Le Requin, Xebec 1750 on which, I believe, Heller based their model. The second book is “Modeles Historiques Musee National de la Marine” ISBN 2-903179-43-3. This latter is entirely in French and has only a Foreword; it starts with Le Louis XV 1700 - Vasseau trois-ponts. Both books deal with different models and both were published by A.N.C.R.E. 75, avenue Georges V - 6000 Nice, France. See also www.ancre.fr. Hope this helps. Flitch
