Copper-engrave map, hand-colored. 42x55.9 cm. (16½x22").
The strategic Strait of Gibraltar is the focus of this unusual chart that provides exacting detail of the fortifications on both the Spanish and African coasts. Four tidal tables compare tide levels and times at different seas with notes on the currents. A large inset map illustrates the major shipping routes between the British Isles and Marseilles, France.
Condition
Some staining mostly to margins, dust soiling; overall very good.
