Nautical Chart Atlas | Marseille | Toulon | Map from 1801

The Marseille chart shows the harbor and the surrounding area with depth soundings, indicating the water depth crucial for navigation. Important landmarks such as fortresses and lighthouses are marked, underscoring Marseille's significance as a commercial hub.

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 mariners 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.
The historical charts show signs of time and use, with these traces appearing to varying degrees and in different ways depending on the individual chart and its history of use.
