This anonymous 18th-century map, created between 1702 and 1703, depicts the French West Coast near La Rochelle and the Ile de Ré. The map is notable for its detailed depiction of the coastline, including various ports and towns. The use of a compass rose, as well as detailed nautical measurements, highlights the practical and navigational purpose of the map. This piece provides a glimpse into the cartographic practices of the time and is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
