"[Lot of 2] Le Port au Prince dans l'Isle de St. Domingue [and] Environs de Leogane et du Port au Prince dans l'Isle de St. Domingue", Bellin, Jacques Nicolas

These two charts show the coastal area of Port au Prince and the immediate area of the city. The first, No. 69 (6.8 x 8.6"), focuses on the fortress and the second, No. 68 (14.1 x 8.9"), expands to show the surrounding topography (14 x 8.7"). Both are embellished by lovely rococo-style title cartouches, fleur-de-lis, rhumb lines, soundings, and shoals.
