The entire work consists of twelve hand-colored nautical charts from the atlas "Die kleine Seefackel" / "The Little Sea Torch" by René Bougard and John Thomas Serres, published in 1801. These maps are part of a nautical chart atlas that was an indispensable tool for sailors in the age of sailing ships. The atlas serves as a coastal guide with illustrations and maps for navigation along the Atlantic coast of Europe and in the Mediterranean.
The historical maps show traces of time and use, with these traces varying in intensity and manner depending on the map and its use. The print is a reproduction.
