Large sea chart of the southwestern coast of Ireland covering from Ardfert to Waterford. Nice detail of the coast including anchorages and soundings. Rhumb lines, sailing ships and compass roses fill the ocean. The large title cartouche fills the interior and features a miller with bread and the scale is decorated with cherubs.

Condition: B+

A nice impression with full contemporary color that has been fully backed in linen, repairing a short crack in the title cartouche, resulting in some abrasions. There is minor soiling and a few spots of foxing.
