A radiant celestial figure above unveils the title banner signalling divine favour while a distant fleet underscores Frances burgeoning naval prowess under Louis XIV.Commissioned during the height of French ambitions to dominate the seas the plates theatrical excess belies its practical function as the portal to a technical atlas.
