Rade de Marseille

DESCRIPTION: Antique chart engraving of the Bay of Marseille from the atlas of Mediterranean ports produced by Joseph Roux.

There were at least four small atlases of port and coastal charts that originated from Marseille hydrographers in the 18th century. Beginning in approximately 1727 these atlases included works by cartographers Michelot and Bremond, Jacques Ayrouard, Joseph Roux , and Jean Allezard. Comparison between Roux's chart of Marseille Bay and that of Michelot and Bremond shows that although Roux's coastal outline is slightly different than Michelot, the hydrographic soundings were lifted directly from Michelot's charts that were produced 40 years earlier. Plate 20.
