The complete 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 maps are part of a nautical atlas that was an essential tool for sailors during the age of sail. The atlas serves as a coastal guide with illustrations and charts for navigation along the Atlantic coast of Europe and in the Mediterranean.
