This large sheet depicts the coastline of northern Spain in four separate charts. Each chart shows a different segment of the coastline: from just south of Vigo to La Coruna; from La Coruna to Gijon; from Gijon to Castro-Urdiales; and from Castro-Urdiales to just past Donostia-San Sebastian. Soundings, anchorages, rocks, shoals, and a compass rose orienting north to the bottom are shown on each chart. This is a Depot de la Marine issue with the seal and the price (Prix trente Sols) at bottom left.
