Boston Harbor
Bring a little Boston home.
Metal Art Sign · 7 × 5 inches
Give a wall near the desk a picture to return to during the day. Sailing vessels, small boats and a firing craft share Pierre Ozanne's Boston Harbor drawing, giving the water scene several distinct maritime details to notice.
Pierre Ozanne's 1778 drawing records Boston Harbor before the nineteenth-century expansion of the waterfront. Sailing vessels, small boats and a firing craft share the scene. Its French inscription associates the view with Admiral d’Estaing's American campaign, preserving a particular moment in the harbor's maritime history without identifying every vessel.
The drawing connects Boston's waterfront with d’Estaing's campaign through its inscription, keeping the historical association clear while individual vessel names remain unassigned. Keep it near the desk or entryway, or give it to someone with an interest in the place behind the picture.
