This is a large, striking sea chart of the southwestern coast of Africa. It covers the coast from the equator to 20° S latitude; Gabon (with Sao Tome and Principe) to Namibia. The chart provides a wealth of information including anchorages, forts, villages, navigational hazards. The Skeleton Coast is marked as unknown (Coste n'est pas connue). It is a handsome chart with rhumb lines, a decorative compass rose and an exquisite title cartouche. The Depot de la Marine seal and prix. trente sols is at lower right.
