A charming little close-up coastal harbor chart of one of the main harbors with anchorage spots and sounding depths.

Charming and very uncommon 235 year old miniature harbor chart of this location. Printed on a page with text surrounding the map and on the reverse as always. This is the only way to own an original example of this almost primitive little map.

Nice looking example, pleasing age patina, any minor age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
