Handsome sea chart of the Southern Atlantic with a near complete South American continent (south of the Amazon River) and South Africa included. Detail is largely confined to the coastlines. Rhumb lines and a large compass rose make this a very attractive large chart. The Prime Meridian is shown through l'Isle de Fer, I'Isle de Teneriffe, London and Paris.
