Can some one direct me to a image of that Victorian French drawing of a future battleship? I've googles for all I'm worth but no luck. T.i.a.!

Its a well-known French illustration showing a ridicilous overthetop predreadnought battleship. Massive guns, enormous fighting tops, and launching torpedoboats by crane. It's from the 19th century.

Definetly, Jules Vernesque... It's been shown on this site repeatedly. Come on guys, don't dissappoint me!

Gah, I know which one you're talking about, but I can't come up with the right search term!

For future reference to all, we are talking about the french artist Albert Robida here. Google Image him, and victorian steampunk bliss will follow.
