44 images for maritime safety
The chart was part of Victor Carlson’s maritime handbook from 1890. The volume was more than a manual: it contained 43 colour plates and a fold-out map of the approach to Gothenburg – a compact overview of the signals and navigational marks of the time around the North and Baltic Seas.

The story behind the motif
Poster with an illustration from the year 1890 showing various maritime signal flags and their use, including:
- French district flags for Cherbourg, Brest, Lorient and Rochefort.
- Historic national flags no longer officially used at sea (Russia, Lübeck, Hamburg, Bremen, Oldenburg, Prussia).
- Pilot flags for different countries (Belgium, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Holland, Italy, Portugal, Prussia, Spain, Sweden).
- Pendants in the Swedish navy for various signals.
- Lighthouse signals for navigating in relation to lighthouses.
The illustration was published with the book "Maritime Telegraph Systems, Buoys, Beacons, Tidal Signals ptr." created by Victor Carlsson, captain in the Swedish merchant navy. The book aimed to document maritime signaling systems and included 44 prints of maritime signaling systems from the time that existed around the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
Frame not included.
