Large attractive sea chart of the North Atlantic with good coastal and island detail. A good portion of each of the continents is shown with major port cities named. Typical of the strong engraving and thick sturdy paper of this great French survey. Fleur-de-lis and rhumb lines make this a handsome chart. Engraved by Dheulland, produced for Le Comte de Maurepas, the Ministre de la Marine.
