Engraving giving two views of the bow of a Dutch admiralty ship: at left, a side view, and at right, a half front view. Below the waterline, the ship is illustrated by simple dashed outlines. The features of the ship above the waterline are labeled in Dutch or with letters and numbers. The page is labeled "Pag. 8" at top right, and at top centre is a scale for the diagram ("Voet maat"--scale in feet).
This object is made from two pages joined together; a seam is visible between the two diagrams on the verso. There is a watermark on both pages, partially cut off on each, which has the shape of an ornate crest.
