A large compass rose, and associated rhumb lines radiate across the chart. Local maritime hazards such as sunken rocks and sand banks are shown. Produced for Jaillot in his 'Le Neptune Francois ou Atlas Nouveau des Cartes Marines'. Size: 630 x 940 mm. Copperplate engraving with lovely original outline colour. Some strengthening to the verso, otherwise in very good condition.
