Interesting sea chart of portions of the Libyan and Egyptian coasts from Cap Rusato (Darnah) to Alexandria. It is embellished with rhumb lines throughout and is oriented with north and the Mediterranean at the bottom. Decorated with two compass roses with gilt fleur-de-lis, a sailing ship and a galley ship. A large title cartouche, surmounted by figures and the coat of arms of the Barbary Corsairs, dominates the upper-right quadrant.

Original color with light toning, several small chips in the coat of arms above the title cartouche, a chip in the coastline at right, and several cracks in the distance scales due to the oxidation of green pigment.
