The map is titled "Île et Banc de Terre-Neuve avec les Îles St. Pierre et Miquelon", depicting Newfoundland and the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. It is from the Petit Atlas National series. Features: - The map is divided into two sections: 1. The left side shows Newfoundland (Terre-Neuve) and its surrounding waters, including important locations such as the Île du Cap Breton and Grand Bank fishing areas. 2. The right side focuses on St. Pierre and Miquelon, a French overseas territory near Newfoundland. - Administrative divisions and key geographic features, such as capes, bays, and towns, are labeled on the map. Historical Context: - This map is part of a collection meant to showcase France's overseas colonies and territories, including the small but significant St. Pierre and Miquelon, which has been under French control for centuries and was a critical fishing and trading hub. - The Petit Atlas National series was typically published in the early 19th century, and this map likely dates from the same period, around 1815–1820. Here the text transalated: Here is the translation of the text from French to English: --- **NOTICE.** The islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, the only remaining French possession in this part of America since the loss of Canada, are located a few miles from the southern coast of Newfoundland, which belongs to the English. Their relatively fertile soil is broken up by hills that give rise to small streams. **Grande Miquelon**, the northernmost of the two islands, has a circumference of about 9 to 10 leagues. It offers a convenient port for fishing boats. **Petite Miquelon**, to the south of Grande Miquelon, has a circumference of about 6 leagues. It is well-watered and well-wooded. **Saint Pierre**, to the south-southwest of the two other islands, presents a somewhat similar appearance but is devoid of trees. Although it is the smallest of the three islands, it is the most important due to the size of its harbor, which can accommodate 30 to 40 ships of various sizes, and because of its favorable coastline for the preparation, preservation, and export of cod. On its eastern coast, at the bottom of a beautiful bay, lies the town of Saint Pierre, the only notable settlement on the three islands. It is the residence of a naval officer who, under the title of Commander, governs the colony. The permanent population is about 2,000 souls, of which 800 reside in Saint Pierre. However, sailors come to the islands from the coasts of Brittany and Normandy during the cod fishing season on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In 1833, it was estimated that about 14,000 sailors were employed in this fishery, and the purchase of supplies required by the colony was valued at over one million francs. --- This translation reflects the original notice describing the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, with details about their geography, population, and economic activities related to the fishing industry. People searching for maps or information about Newfoundland and the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon use the following keywords: 1. Newfoundland map...

Bay of Saint Helena: French Naval Chart by N.B. Ingénieur de la Marine, 18th Century This meticulously detailed copper engraving, titled 'Carte de la Baye de Sainte Helene' (Map of the Bay of Saint Helena), was drawn by N.B., an engineer of the French Navy (*Ingénieur de la Marine*). The map was created based on the navigational observations of mariners and published in the 18th century, most likely in France. It offers a precise and practical representation of Saint Helena Bay, a crucial anchorage point in the South Atlantic Ocean. Saint Helena Bay, located on the island of Saint Helena, was an important stopover for ships sailing between Europe and Asia, particularly for Dutch and British vessels during the Age of Exploration and the later colonial period. Its significance was further heightened when the island became the final exile location of Napoleon Bonaparte from 1815 to 1821. The map shows the bay with impressive attention to detail, depicting the coastline with numerous soundings marked in French and English leagues (*Lieues Marines de France et d'Angleterre*), allowing navigators to gauge the water depth and avoid hazards. The bay’s natural topography, including hills and coastal elevations, is rendered in delicate engraving lines. A large central peak dominates the landscape, surrounded by rugged terrain, while a smaller inlet and river (*Riviere*) are also shown, highlighting the complex geography of the bay. A decorative fleur-de-lis compass rose marks the left side of the chart, indicating orientation and providing a clear sense of direction for mariners. The map's clean and elegant design reflects the French cartographic tradition of combining functional navigation aids with aesthetic appeal. The chart includes practical features such as scale indicators and coastal profiles that help sailors recognize the bay from a distance. The detailed soundings marked throughout the bay make this map an invaluable tool for understanding the navigational challenges of the area, particularly for large, heavily laden ships. This rare chart belongs to a series of marine maps...
