This example was published by Richard Mount and Thomas Page in the 1711 edition of the ‘English Pilot Part III’ covering the Mediterranean Sea. 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 (fl.1675-77) whose imprint appears lower left. Sanderson (1971) 425 no. 134; Shirley (2004) M.Sell 1d no. 10, M.M&P 3a no. 11, & M.M&P 7c no.18; Zacharakis, C. 2159.
