The complete work consists of twelve hand-colored sea 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 sail. 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 the signs of time and their use, with these signs appearing to varying degrees and in different ways depending on the map and its use. The print is a reproduction.
