EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Santiago Agustín Zuloaga, a prominent 18th century Spanish military marine. The image is taken from the cover of his influential work, "Tratado instructivo y práctico de maniobras navales" or "Instructive and Practical Treaty of Naval maneuvers," published in Cadiz in 1766. Zuloaga's treatise was an essential resource for seafarers and naval officers of the time, providing comprehensive instructions on various naval maneuvers. The illustration, skillfully engraved by Paul Ganzino, showcases Zuloaga in an upright position, bathed in daylight, and surrounded by a vibrant exterior scene. The daytime sunlight illuminates the colorful image, casting long shadows and highlighting the intricate details of the man's military uniform. Zuloaga is shown wearing a red coat, white trousers, and a tricorn hat adorned with a gold band and a feather. He is accompanied by several other men, all dressed in similar attire, suggesting a gathering of naval personnel. The treatise itself was published in Madrid, in the Autonomous Community of Spain, and housed in the National Library. The publication of this work marked a significant contribution to the field of naval science during the 18th century, providing valuable insights and techniques for effective naval maneuvers. This print serves as a testament to Zuloaga's enduring legacy and the importance of his work in the annals of maritime history.
