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 essential tool for sailors in the age of sailing. The atlas serves as a coastal guide with illustrations and maps for navigation along the Atlantic coast of Europe and in the Mediterranean Sea.
