Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A well-illustrated look at shipboard ornamentation through the ages — from charging ram heads on ancient Greek and Roman war-galleys, saints on horseback, and allegorical portrayals of royalty to vintage Elizabethan galleons and Lord Nelson's Victory, built in 1765. Over 420 royalty-free illustrations also depict escutcheons, lanterns, rails, gun ports, and other decorative elements.

Rated by buyers -
While the book covers the general topic, I was disappointed that it lacked even mention of numerous more historically well know ship figureheads. Being a ship modeler the book appeared from the description that it would give a wider view of figurehead history, but is seemed a bit thin on content. Images were poor which is understandable in some cases due to their age, but the book did not live up to my expectations.
