There is great detail of islands, coastal ports and harbors, including soundings and the locations of anchorages. The map is adorned with rhumb lines, a fleur-de-lis, the Depot de la Marine emblem and an oval cartouche. Engraved by E. Collin. Prix Trois Francs is stated just outside of the neatline at bottom right.
