DESCRIPTION: This lithograph by Paul Gavarni presents Frederic Sauvage, the inventive mind behind the propeller, also known as the "screw propeller," which transformed maritime navigation. Born in 1785 in Boulogne-sur-Mer, Sauvage’s innovation allowed ships to sail faster and more smoothly, paving the way for modern ocean travel. Although his journey was met with financial struggles and skepticism from others, his propeller eventually became a key fixture in the maritime world. Today, Sauvage is remembered with statues and street names, celebrating the determination and vision that helped his invention set sail into history..
