Chromolithography of Stadler and Pattinot, After Vasily Ignatius. Restored by Adam Cuerden.
But which ships have photographs taken in the first place, in good enough condition to matter, and available high-definition is such a crap shoot that I'm not sure it's worth considering unless we have one to hand. Plus, this era of ships go through so much reworking in a desperate attempt to keep them relevant that, unless you happen on photos of them in the same state as in the lithograph, they're complementary anyway.
