View of Cartagena, Spain by Ayrouard, 1746.

Sourced from Ayrouard's scarce sea atlas: "Recueil de Plusiers Plans des Ports et Rades et de Quelque Cartes Particulieres de la Mer Méditerranée." Beautifully engraved by Louis Corne.

Ayrouard was a pilot of the French royal galley, the Reale, based in Marseille, France. The much larger size (18"x11") and extensively shaded topography in this plan are distinctive characteristics of Ayrouard's nautical port plans. Plate 68.
