Nautical Chart Atlas | Lisbon | Cadiz | Map from 1801 | Giclée Print

Lisbon Map: This map depicts the sprawling and safe harbor of Lisbon. Prominent features include the Tagus River, various coastal characteristics, and depth soundings. The map is labeled with important locations such as “C. Roca” and “C. Spichell” and includes navigation aids.
Cadiz Map: This map shows the harbor of Cadiz, considered the most beautiful port in old Spain and a vital hub for Spanish foreign trade. The map highlights key locations such as “Fort Catalina” and “Isla de León” and marks the Bay of Cadiz. Like the Lisbon map, it includes depth soundings and navigation markings.
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 maps are part of a nautical chart 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 Sea.
These historical maps show the marks of time and use, with these marks appearing in varying degrees and ways depending on the map and its use. The print is a reproduction.
