This detailed 17th-century nautical chart depicts the coastline of Normandy, France, stretching from Dieppe westward to the Pointe de la Percée in Bessin. Published as part of monumental French maritime atlases such as Le Neptune François, the chart illustrates coastal settlements, river estuaries—notably the winding Seine River leading up to Rouen—sandbanks, and navigational hazards along the English Channel. The composition features two prominent decorative compass roses with a dense network of intersecting rhumb lines, designed to assist mariners in plotting courses along the Norman coast. Sounding data, anchorages, and coastal topographies are meticulously recorded alongside regional labels such as Pays de Caux and Bessin, making this print a landmark of early French scientific hydrography.
