Superb large-scale sea chart with great detail of parishes, forts, towns, settlements, anchorages and topography. Includes Les Saints and Marie Galante. Large inset of environs of Fort Louis surrounded in a delicately engraved border. The chart is centered with a large compass rose with radiating rhumb lines and ornamented with title and distance scale cartouches. Its meticulous topographical and nautical detail makes this one of the major 18th century maps of Guadeloupe.
