This French chart depicts the bizarre shape of Saldanha Bay that was the norm for many years from the mid-17th until late 18th century.
The map was published in 1764 for Jacques Bellin's (Recueil de Cartes et de Plans des Quatre Parties du Monde). This small format nautical atlas included more than 580 charts of much of the world known to Europeans in th mid-18th century.
Bellin was an important maker of charts for the French Depot de la Marine. His largest and most comprehensive work is the Petit Atlas Maritime with 581 charts. "The Petit Atlas Maritime is probably the best compilation of plans of maritime towns and harbours of its time." David Rumsey. J. Arrivet is listed as engraver on the chart index pages and may also have engraved the charts themselves.
This small chart is in fine condition and is a fascinating depiction of how Saldanha Bay was visualised in the mid-18th century.
