"Plan du Port et de la Ville de la Havanne", Depot de la Marine

This large, scarce chart is the French version of Jose del Rio's important survey of 1798. The harbor is annotated with a systematic network of soundings and the city plan and fortifications are linked to an extensive key below the title. Engraved by Etienne Collin with lettering (ecrit) by Besacon. The engraved seal of the Depot de la Marine is a bottom left. This state is not noted by Cueto; having the No. 69 instead of 170. Prix Un Franc is at lower right.
