"Carte Reduite de l'Ocean-Occidental Comprenant les Costes d'Europe et d'Afrique…", Depot de la Marine

Handsome, large sea chart of the Atlantic Ocean, north of the equator. A good portion of each of the continents is shown with major port cities named. The coast of North America is labeled with the colonies and Florida is shown as a mass of islands. The chart is centered on a large compass rose with radiating rhumb lines. This is the scarce first edition, engraved by Dheulland, produced for Le Comte de Maurepas, the Ministre de la Marine.
