Delightful bird's-eye plan of the city and surrounding islands with great detail of major buildings. The plan was reduced from De Fer's large chart of 1695 that he prepared for the Depot de la Marine. A variety of ships and boats fill the lagoon, and the arms of the city and the Venetian Republic decorate the plan. A key at bottom identifies ten sites and six districts.
