A large copper engraved sea chart of the Cape Verde Islands. Beautiful decorative title cartouche with a sea shell surrounds the title that rests above a scene of Poseidon, mermaids and horses. Rhumb lines with a sailing ship and a distance scale at bottom right in a smaller cartouche with sea-boys and fish.
