Inscribed with detailed information about its creation under royal orders in Paris in 1693.
This piece captures the essence of maritime cartography in the 17th century with its precise details and artistic flair. It offers viewers a glimpse into the past when navigation relied on maps like these for safe passage along coastal waters.
