Nautical Chart Atlas | Dieppe | Le Havre | Map from 1801

The Dieppe map shows the city plan, the fortifications, and the harbor entrance. The map illustrates the strategic importance of Dieppe as a fortified port on the English Channel.
The Le Havre map highlights the mouth of the Seine and key landmarks such as Cap de la Hève. The map underscores the role of Le Havre as a gateway to the French hinterland via the Seine.
The entire work consists of twelve hand-colored nautical charts from the atlas "The Little Sea Torch" by René Bougard and John Thomas Serres, published in 1801. These charts are part of a nautical atlas that was an indispensable tool for sailors during the age of sail. The atlas serves as a coastal guide with illustrations and maps for navigation along the Atlantic coast of Europe and in the Mediterranean.
The historical maps show the marks of time and their usage, with these signs appearing in varying degrees and ways depending on the individual map and its history of use.

Historical maps bear signs of time and use, the intensity and nature of which vary depending on the map and its intended purpose. The print offered is a reproduction.
