A set of three original engraved naval harbour plans depicting key Mediterranean ports: Genoa (Italy), Civitavecchia (Italy), and Spalato / Split (Dalmatia).
These finely detailed maps are characteristic examples of 18th-century French naval cartography, likely originating from a maritime atlas or hydrographic survey of the period.
Each plate features:
- precise harbour layouts with fortifications and coastal defenses
- bathymetric soundings (depth measurements in pieds / brasses)
- navigational lines and harbour approaches
- military engineering details reflecting the influence of the Vauban school
The presence of plate numbers (Pl. 22, 26, 86) strongly suggests that all three maps belong to the same atlas or publication.
Fair to Good condition for the period (over 240 years old):
- age toning and minor stains
- light edge wear
- overall clean impressions with clear engraved detail
Dimensions: w. 25 x h. 25
