Copper engraving, 130 x 196 mm, hand-painted, from the «Recueuil des Principaux Plans des Ports et Rades de la Mer Mediterranee». Joseph Roux (1725-1793) was a famous French cartographer. In 1764 he published an atlas of the Mediterranean in 12 large plates, from which he derived the atlas of ports in the same year. An excellent example.
