Hardcover. Condition: Very good. John Batchelor, Brian Hiley, William Hobson, Frank (illustrator). First Printing [Stated]. The format is approximately 8.75 inches by 11.25 inches. 46, [2] pages. Illustrations (some in color). Index. Cover has minor wear and soiling. No dust jacket present. Decorative front and back covers. The contents cover the first boats of primitive man, Viking long Ships, Sea Trade and Exploration, Sailing Vessels, Steamships, Experimental Ships, Ocean Liners, and includes Do-It-Yourself Model Building instructions. This is an increasingly scarce and sought after work not only for its text and technical content, but because of the exemplary illustrations by perhaps the finest cadre of military and nautical illustrators of the second half of the Twentieth Century. John Henry Batchelor MBE (1936-2019) was an English artist and technical illustrator, particularly known for his clear and detailed cutaway illustrations of vehicles and military equipment and stamp illustrations. His work can be seen in many hundreds of late-20th-century works on armor, fighting vehicles, ships, firearms, etc. Batchelor's work is particularly sought after by scale model makers for its accuracy. He provided illustrations for many magazines such as Radio Times, TV Times and technical interest publications such as Popular Mechanics, Air & Space, and The Aeroplane. This is one of the "Visual Books" series. The text contains shipbuilding details, tools used, as well as descriptive narrative about nautical and maritime history and technology development.
