Prix Cinq Francs is located below the neatline and the imprint of the Depot de la Marine is located under the Avertissement. The embossed stamp for Dezauche printers in Paris is located in the upper left corner. The map is based on an expedition tracked by M.M. Givry along the coast in 1819 and 1820.
