It focuses on the waters between Corsica and Liguria and Tuscany. It extends from Nice and Monaco lower left through Genoa and Pisa. The nearby island of Elba is shown as is a portion of Sardinia. It is engraved by James Bennett whose imprint appears lower left. Shirley ‘Atlases in the BL’ M.Sell 1d no. 10 & M.M&P 7c no.18; Zacharakis, C. 2159.
