Handsome, large sea chart of the Atlantic Ocean, north of the equator, delineated with rhumb lines. A good portion of each of the continents is shown with major port cities named. The coast of North America is labeled with the colonies and Florida is shown as a mass of islands. Two large, decorative cartouches fill the interior in North America and Africa. This is the fourth updated edition of a map originally produced in 1738 for the Ministre de la Marine.
