Vigo: The map of Vigo shows a city with an extensive harbor in Galicia, Spain. It highlights the Bay of Bayona, various islands, and the rugged coastline. The map includes depth soundings, which are essential for seafarers to determine safe passages and anchorages.
Porto: The map of Porto focuses on the city and port, known for its wine trade and located in the Entre Douro e Minho region of Portugal. The map shows the Douro River and its mouth into the Atlantic, emphasizing the strategic importance of the port.

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 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.
