Description
A beautiful, large chart of the French sea of the Davis Strait, published by Jacques Nicolas Bellin in Paris.
The note at the bottom left indicates that the map was constructed for use in the Whaling industry and is based upon a Dutch chart by Laurent Feykes, which was later published in Amsterdam by Gerard van Keulen from 1719.
Oriented with west at the top, the coastline of Greenland at the bottom of the map is well detailed with place names, soundings, water currents, and anchorages. In contrast, the eastern coastline of L'Isle James (Baffin Island) is only partially outlined.
