A clearly engraved chart of the west coast of South Africa from Saldanha Bay to False Bay, with Robben Island, Table Bay and Cape Town central. Depths and anchorages are indicated while, on the land, a number of Dutch place names appear along with mountainous areas shown in profile. Jean-Baptiste Nicolas Denis D'Apres De Mannevillette, a distinguished navigator and one of France's first hydrographers, compiled a large collection of maps and charts pertaining to the navigation from Europe, around Africa to the East Indies. The "Neptune Oriental", in which this chart appeared, was regarded as one of the best publications of its time.
