Description
Rare nautical chart of the Mediterranean coast of southern Spain including Alicante and Cartagena Spain and of the North African coastline including Oran and Cape Ferrat. Portolan-style central compass rose surrounded by a concentric grouping of rhumb lines. Produced by the Genoan cartographer Francesco Maria Levanto in 1664 in "La Prima Parte dello Specchio del Mare…" (Sea Mirror) probably from earlier Dutch charts, possibly by Jacobsz. This antique sea chart was reissued later by Coronelli in 1697. Charts from Levanto's Specchio del Mare are quite scarce. Plate 5. Chain laid paper.
