This very rare English sea chart was possibly first published in Mount and Page’s ‘English Pilot Third Part’ covering the Mediterranean Sea from 1736. It is produced on a larger scale than many charts in the atlas and centres on the Bay of Marseilles extending from C. Courone in the west to Isle de Riou in the east. The map highlights the safe anchorage points and depth soundings. A large compass rose adorns the map. It draws on the cartography of Henri Michelot and Laurent Bremond as stated in the title. Michelot was a hydrographer and pilot and Bremond a hydrographer, both at Marseilles. They worked together on ‘Recueil de plusiers Plans des ports et Rades de la Mer Mediterranee’ published in Marseilles 1721. Shirley ‘Atlases in the BL’ M.M&P 7c no. 9.
