Nautical Chart Atlas | Naples | Malta | Map from 1801

The map of Naples highlights the importance of its bay, which was one of Italy's most important ports due to its size and strategic location. During this period, Naples was a significant cultural and economic center in the Mediterranean region.
The map of Malta emphasizes Valletta, the capital, and underscores its importance as a fortified city and a key naval base in the Mediterranean. The island's complex history, influenced by various powers, including the Order of Malta, is reflected in the detailed depiction of its geography and settlements.

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 signs of time and their usage, with these signs varying in intensity and nature depending on the individual map and its history of use.
