Carte Topographique des Pays et Côtes Maritimes qui forment le Détroit de Gibraltar.

Handsome sea chart from the German cartographer Johann Baptiste Homann, who was the Imperial Geographer of the Holy Roman Empire and a dominant map publisher in Germany in the eighteenth century. After Homann's death the business was carried on by his son until his death in 1730 whereupon the company was bequeathed to his heirs with the condition that the business continued to operate under the name 'Homann Heirs'. The chart covers Gibraltar strait, Spanish and African coast, showing towns, rivers and mountains pictorially in relief. Four tidal tables comparing tide levels and times at different seas; notes on currents. Inset map extending from part of Ireland and England, through France, Spain and Portugal to the north coast of Africa.

Fine condition. Laid on linen.
