"Carte de la Cote Orientale de l'Amerique Septentrionale Partie Comprise Entre la Baie de Gaspee et New York...", Depot de la Marine

This striking chart stretches from New York Bay to St. George's Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador. It is based on the work of Edmund Blunt. Other than place names along the coast, there is no inland detail. Soundings, banks, lighthouses, and other navigational information are shown. An inset at top left zooms in on Boston Harbor and its surroundings with plenty of nautical information as well as nice topographical detail. The engraved seal of the Depot de la Marine is at bottom right, with the price Prix. Deux Francs appearing below the neatline. Drawn by J.M. Hacq and engraved by Chassant.
