Superb large sea chart of the southwest part of Holland, south of Rotterdam. The islands of the provinces of South-Holland and Zeeland are all shown and named, as well as the many waterways in this area. The coastline extends to the French city of Gravelines (near Calais). Throughout the map many cities are named, as well as the many banks, both off the coast and in the inland waterways. North is at the bottom, indicated by a decorative compass rose. The chart is filled with rhumb lines and a distance scale is below the title, at the lower right.
