This large French chart covers all the coastlines of the Indian Ocean from eastern Africa to southeastern Asia and western Australia. It features fine navigational details including numerous soundings, shoals, and offshore islands. The region around Southeast Asia is particularly well developed. Inland detail is limited to river systems and some place names. The title has fancy lettering and six compass roses fill the water.
