Description

This aged cartographic engraving depicts the North Atlantic Ocean — 'Océan Atlantique ou Mer du Nord' — spanning the eastern coastlines of North America (labeled Amérique Septentrionale) to Western Europe and the top of Africa, rendered with period rhumb lines and compass roses typical of 17th–18th century Dutch sea charts. The map was published in Amsterdam and charts major landmarks including the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, Canada, Florida, and the coasts of France, Spain, and West Africa. Its warm parchment tones, hand-lettered place names in French, and intricate engraved linework lend it a refined antique character well suited to a study, library, or nautical-themed décor.
