There is excellent detail of the numerous islands within Zeeland, with navigational information including soundings, shoals, and anchorages. An elaborate compass rose orients north to the bottom of the chart. Beautifully engraved by C. Berey. This is a Depot de la Marine issue with the seal and the price (Prix trente Sols) below the title.
