Nautical Chart Atlas | Belle Isle | Ferrol | A Coruña | Map from 1801 | Giclée Print

Belleisle (Belle-Île-en-Mer): The map shows Belle-Île, an island in the Bay of Biscay off the coast of Brittany. Notable points include various municipalities such as Sauzon, Bangor, and Locmaria.
Ferrol and A Coruña (A Coruña): This map shows the ports of Ferrol and A Coruña in Galicia (Spain).
Ferrol is known as a port for warships, while A Coruña handles smaller vessels. Key geographical features include Cape Prior, Drake’s Bay, and various depth soundings essential for navigation.
The complete 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 charts are part of a nautical 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 Sea.
The historical maps show the marks of time and use, with these marks varying in intensity and manner depending on the map and its use. The print is a reproduction.
