The First French Steam Battlefleet in Formation at Sea | Édouard Adam | 1884

Édouard Adam’s "The First French Steam Battlefleet in Formation at Sea" (1884) depicts a powerful line of French warships cutting through churning waves beneath a brooding sky. Their sails are still set despite the age of steam, capturing a transitional moment in naval history when traditional sailing ships coexisted with modern technology. The orderly formation, taut rigging, and swelling seas emphasize discipline, strength, and the growing might of France’s 19th century navy.
