Large sea chart of the southeastern coast of Ireland covering from Ardfert to Waterford. Nice detail of the coast including anchorages and soundings. Rhumb lines, sailing ships and compass roses fill the ocean. The large title cartouche fills the interior and features a miller with bread and the scale is decorated with cherubs.

Condition: B
Impression is a bit weak in the cartouches and place names, else fine with wide original margins.
