Admiralty Office, London, 1876-[83]
495 x 650 mm., with fine recent wash colour, with some light toning to the paper, otherwise in good condition.
A superb detailed plan of the coast of southern France centred on Nice and Villefranche-sur-Mare. The city of Nice is encircled by the Marseille to Italy railway. The city is yet to spread out to this point. All the streets and the buildings are carefully placed. The major buildings including notably the hotels are all identified. To the east is the town of 'Ville Franche' which had only recently been returned to France from the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1860. At this point it was becoming an important Russian Naval Base due to its deep water port. The even less developed Beaulieu to the east is shown with only a small number of buildings. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat bears only the one road with a branch leading to the town. Overall a fascinating map of the region surveyed by Captain F. J Evans, first published in 1876 and hear bearing the fifty update in 1883.
