Splendid sea chart of the eastern Atlantic with the coastlines from Britain through Cape Verde. The map is highly decorative with a large cartouche showing European and African traders, a garland imprint cartouche, a putti holding a coat of arms, Neptune adorning the scale cartouche, two sailing ships, two compass roses, a sea monster and rhumb lines.

A nice impression on watermarked paper with very light soiling, a few minor creases, and a professionally repaired centerfold separation that just passes neatline at bottom.
