This anonymous 18th-century map depicts the city of Antibes, France, showcasing its fortified walls and harbor. The map's detailed lines and annotations, including "La Ville" (the city) and "Le Port" (the port), offer a clear visual representation of the city's layout. Its intricate detail, including the scale bar and the "Mediterranée" (Mediterranean Sea) label, exemplifies the precision and artistry of cartography during this era. This map, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides valuable insight into the historical geography of Antibes.
