General Chart of the Mediterranean Sea. Including the Gulf of Venice, Archipelago and part of the Black Sea Reduced From the Large Chart . . . by J.F. Dessiou . . . 1841

This detailed and elegantly engraved sea chart presents the full extent of the Mediterranean basin, from Gibraltar and the Atlantic approaches to the Levant and a portion of the Black Sea, along with the Gulf of Venice and the Aegean Archipelago. It was prepared by Joseph Foss Dessiou, a master in the Royal Navy and experienced hydrographer, whose work bridged Admiralty service and commercial chartmaking. The present map is a reduction of a larger four-sheet Admiralty-style chart, here intended for Wyld's mid-century folio atlases.
