This uncommon sea chart of the English Channel is beautifully engraved. The seas are filled with rhumb lines, depth soundings, and arrows showing the direction of the currents. North is oriented to the right. The coastlines of Brittany, France and Cornwall, England are included, with numerous coastal towns identified. The many hazards to ships near the Isles of Scilly are identified. A large title cartouche translates the title into French and English and incorporates the distance scales.
