Description

A large and impressive sea chart of Europe, orientated with north to the left. It shows the west coast of Norway, the south coast of Iceland, the British Isles, the coast of Europe from Denmark to Gibraltar, and Madeira and the Azores. It was published as the general map of Mortier's 'Neptune François', which was, despite the title and publication line, published in Amsterdam.

Condition:

A good example.
