Dictionaire des termes propres de marine
A naval dictionary of marine terms compiled by Mr Desroches and printed in Paris in 1687 by Amable Auroy, dedicated to the Comte de Toulouse, Admiral of France. The pictures are small engraved plates of national and admiral's flags, numbered and captioned in French beneath each waving banner, with decorative heraldic cartouches heading the dedication pages, giving a designer a clear set of 17th-century naval ensign shapes and crests to adapt.
