This is an illustration of a historic sailing ship, presented in an etching or engraving style. The ship is highly detailed, featuring multiple sails and intricate rigging, and is shown in a tumultuous sea suggesting movement and the challenges of navigation. There are also two smaller ships in the background, which adds to the sense of a seafaring scene. Below the image, there is text in Latin, which reads: "Navis oneraria, quam Germani maritimi vulgo Holcaden vocant figura." This translates to "Image of a cargo ship, which the German seafarers commonly call 'Holcaden'." In the corner, there are initials "W.R." followed by the number "98," which could be referencing either the artist, publisher, or a cataloging system. At the bottom of the image is handwritten text, which seems to be providing context or commentary about the image above. This could be notes from a collector, historian, or a previous owner of the print. The script is not entirely legible without closer inspection, but it appears to contain references to the figure number (possibly linking to the "98" seen above) and possibly adds some historical context or references to the origin and usage of the ship type mentioned in the Latin inscription. The writing contains dates, which suggest it might be commenting on historical relevance or mentions specific records. However, without clear readability and more information, it is difficult to ascertain the exact content of the handwritten notes.

This image is an old engraving depicting a large, intricately designed sailing ship navigating through turbulent seas. The ship features multiple sails and an elaborate rigging system. In the background, another similar ship can be seen sailing, contributing to the maritime scene. The waves are shown as rough, indicating possibly stormy weather. The text at the bottom of the engraving is Latin and reads: "Navis onerariae, quam Germani maritimi vulgo Holcaden vocant figura."

Below the image is a handwritten note in French, elaborating further on the illustration, discussing the history and significance of such ships in the 16th century. It mentions that these ships were believed to originate from the mid-16th century and that the particular ship depicted is referred to as a "Holk" by German sailors. The note seems to be an analysis or commentary on the illustration above it.
