Rare map depicting the southern tip of Corsica around Bonifacio. Oriented with East on top. From the rare chart book by Jacques Ayrouard: "Recueil de plusieurs Ports .. de la Mer Méditerranée". Little is known about Ayrouard, however, he states in his atlas that he visited the ports whilst as an navigator with the French Royal Navy, and whilst on other voyages undertaken by himself. The chart is beautiffully engraved by Louis Corne. His chats are adapted by numerous hydrographers, most notably William Heather, in 1802.
