"Carte de l'Ocean Occidental Dressee pour Servir a l'Histoire Generale des Voyages", Bellin/Van Schley

This is an attractive chart of the North Atlantic. It is centered on a stunning 32-point compass rose and delineated with rhumb lines. 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 Florida, Carolina, Virginie, Pensilvanie and New Angleterre, Ne. Ecosse, and Acadie. The Prime Meridian is shown through I. Ferro with an alternate Prime Meridian shown through Paris. The Dutch title appears below the map: Kaart van den Wester-Ocean, om te dienen voor de Historische Beschryving der Reizen.
