In stock
A detailed sea-chart of the Gulf of Finland, marking three capital cities: Helingfors (Helinki, when it had been the Finnish capital for only three years), St Petersburg and Revel (Talinn, Estonia). The land areas are filled with coastal profiles and six inset details of ports, including Talinn.
The dedication is to Arnail François (1757-1852), marquis de Jaucourt. With the Bourbon Restoration in 1814 he became a minister of state, remaining loyal to Louis XVIII during Napoleon's Hundred Days. He was only Minister for the Navy (the position he held when he supervised this chart) from July to September 1815, after which he retired from public office.
